Great results, beautifully reported. Thanks, Anna.

I have been having some success getting more work done using the trivial website mytomatoes.com. This is a 25 minute timer, you essentially precommit to working for 25 minutes. I find it relatively easy to nip in the bud my urges to diversion when I am still in the 25 minute precommitment.
