As a suggestion, maybe try limiting yourself to local documentation?
It can be useful for times when you do plan to work offline (flights, no wifi), and are often more consistent and faster to use when you're familiar with the format (eg. man pages).
If you find it limiting in your day to day work, try keeping a list of the common sites you frequent (language references, common examples / snippets) and build a personal repository of reference material to replace your internet searches over time.
I have a repo with top level directories for each language, containing an assortment of text files (I use .md though I really only read as plaintext with vim), code examples and scripts (build script examples, library install scripts, etc..).
I think of it like constantly preparing for an open book test.
If I understand all my resources (because I wrote them), and can quickly find what I'm looking for, then its legitimately all preparation.
Using google always seemed like trying to learn the topic while applying it for the first time in the test. I'm never as confident in the result, even if I do think I understand everything in the end.
