Well the fact that we're here on HN indicates we may not be the best to dispense advice! That being said I use a Chrome plugin http://www.stayfocusd.com/ http://www.stayfocusd.com/ and during my working hours I limit the amount of time I can spend on certain sites. It's actually pretty helpful without making me feel that I'm cut off from my favorite sites - I usually almost never have my time limit expire. It really makes you aware of how much time you're spending on non-productive sites, though.
