Something that I would add to that is have someone you trust change your Facebook password (for the day, the week, until the weekends, however long). If you're like me, it's not uncommon to log in ~5-10 times a day just for a quick check. Doing so interrupts your flow the same way diverting your attention to an upcoming event does. However, when you get in the habit of not even being able to check it, that distraction disappears from your life.
- mrschwabe 16y agoDude seriously... do you really get someone to change your Facebook password?
- charliepark 16y agoIf he does? More power to him. Clearly, he sees that he's more productive when that's taken away from him, and he's not letting it distract him from more important things.

- hollerith 16y agoI do something similar in that I asked my girlfriend to change the password to her Netflix account and not tell me what she changed it to so I cannot use it when I am not with her. When it is time for us to watch an instant video, I put a virtual keyboard on the screen, hand her a wireless mouse and she types in the password while I avert my eyes. (Note that this only helps if I remember to log out of Netflix when we are done for the evening.) I am aware that many (most?) people are made uncomfortable by restrictions, even ones they chose with an unclouded mind, but I seem to like them if they reduce my need to exert willpower to resist temptation and do not get in the way too much.
