And for those of you just tuning in (like me) -- noprocrast is a setting in your hackernews profile (upper right corner). Turn it on and it will only allow you on the site for a maximum amount of time (maxvisit) before preventing you from using it for a minimum amount of time (minaway). It has to be turned on manually. The maxvisit 5 and minaway 240 would let you visit for 5 minutes every 4 hours. I just turned mine on and set it to maxvisit 10 minaway 240.

One feature it has which I found particularly useful is the option to delay pages instead of completely blocking them. Instead of the transition being an abrupt stop that makes me want to turn the blocking off to finish what I was doing, the delay makes it a gradual frustration, and feels a lot more like getting naturally bored of browsing.
