I always override. I'm weak. :( We need a "disable override" function.

  It's on the front of your computer (or by your laptop keyboard). Sometimes you need to hold it in for a couple seconds, just to show how focused you are.

    Problem is most of us work on our computers, and many of us need the internet to work. Personally, I use this: echo "0.0.0.0 news.ycombinator.com" >> /etc/hosts

      Here is a snippet from my Windows hosts file... # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] 127.0.0.1 news.ycombinator.com # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] # DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! [times 30] The line in the middle changes from being commented to uncommmented several times in the day. Sigh

        I find the same (hence this comment), but it does a great job to break this habit: http://xkcd.com/477/ http://xkcd.com/477/ .

        The paradox of anti-procrastination: You cannot outsmart yourself.

          Maybe some sort of monetary incentive would help. Here's an idea: RescueTime could hold some of your money hostage each month (say $20, or whatever is significant enough you'd like it back) and if you don't meet your goals that money gets donated to charity at the end of the month. Though it's probably best to eliminate the root cause of the procrastination.
