Alas all my work is in web apps.
I use my browser extensively for work so this isn't an option. My strategy is using parental controls to lock myself out of certain websites while I'm working.
The problem with that is that I know how to break it, and also know how to unbreak it.
Never mind getting distracted with something else after breaking the browser.
One of the things I use for Firefox is the add-on LeechBlock. I set up all kinds of block lists and then set it to block me from changing the settings within certain time limits.
It works great for the most part... Except then I pull out my phone and get distracted there as it's harder to setup such a system there.
