I just canceled my home internet precisely because I had no self-control when exposed to it constantly. I would get up, get online, waste hours, barely get any work done, then waste the rest of the day on it, especially when I had tedious work to do. It's much easier to get and up and get work done if I don't have internet in my home, so it's not the first or last thing I do every day. I've also started reading before bed again. Maybe asceticism is just my natural response to things, after all, I don't drink or have a TV or (now) have home internet. But writing a dissertation does demand a little bit of a monk-like existence, as I imagine other major projects do. I can still get internet with my iPhone or library Wi-Fi, but in the former case it's harder to waste hours surfing on the iPhone, and in the latter case I can simply avoid going to Wi-Fi-enabled places on campus if I need to.
