Blocking websites I used to procrastinate has been helpful for me.

It's funny - if I really wanted to, I could take 30 seconds to google the article, type in the commands to unblock the websites, and then use them to procrastinate. But I don't. The 20-30 seconds is enough to prevent me to do it.

Applied Beware Trivial Inconveniences. I used that too some time ago to reduce procrastinating on my favorite pages. I just added them to /etc/hosts.
