Something that I've heard of people doing is getting a timer box. Basically what it is, is something that locks for a designated period of time.
When you're done work you can pop your stuff in it, set a timer for 16 hours or whatever is necessary then you can't access these things at all.

Even if you fail every once in a while, it'll be an improvement to what you're describing now.
