I attribute my success as a CS undergrad to this, and to not having Internet connection at home. A fresh mind and not having the whole world a click away makes wonders. My home kind of promoted long sleeping hours, no late computing and always refused to give me access to Internet. I studied with books and did programming assignments offline. Virtually everyone else was online already at the time (mid 00s). Even my 80 year old neighbour. I missed one discrete math deadline that got changed because I did not check my email. The prof. couldn't believe my excuse, no Internet at home. I ranked top 1 of my country. Now I'm happily surfing the web, and being a lot less productive.
