I was in the same boat, I even blocked websites in the hosts file, but I found that I'm really creative with finding alternative distractions.
I realized that this is not a software problem that needs to be solved, but rather something with the task. What works usually is to find at least a minuscule part of the task that looks remotely interesting and that hopefully snowballs into the task getting done.
Also, activate deadline mode.

This is a flaw of mine I would say; probably years of distraction have ruined my baseline attentiveness. > at least a minuscule part of the task that looks remotely interesting and that hopefully snowballs Well said, I noted this down! Need to implement it now Thanks a lot for your inputs btw :)
