I've seen a few folks implement the following system (with varying degrees of success): - Start a Virtual Machine - Migrate all your IM, Email, Twitter, Facebook, RSS, HN, etc. to the VM - When you want to focus/work, shut down the VM I do something similar with an iPad. I don't check email, Twitter, RSS, or read web pages on my laptop anymore. I've migrated all that to the iPad.
