Just about an hour or two ago, I installed a customizable Site Blocker to curb my bad habit of unthinkingly opening Reddit every couple minutes. I found that I was a lot happier and more articulate when I didn't subscribe to junk-humor sites like that.
As you can tell, it's worked out splendidly thus far.

I do this too! I think I got into the habbit during the end of summer holidays where I was pretty much bored and demotivated all day. I'm trying to get back into a focussed mindset, but I just blocked it into the hosts file.
I'll probably end up creating a pomodoro-style tool which locks me out of certain websites and certain programs when i'm trying to concentrate.
