This seems like it would be more of a hindrance than a help. Implementing anything to force yourself to code is a good indicator that you really don't want to code in the first place, and is just going to encourage you to write perfunctory code. It will probably also just make you more upset and contemptuous towards work in general. After all, who want's to be forced to something they don't want to do through negative reinforcement?
If you need this, there's most likely a bigger problem and you probably should be doing something else. Additionally, even if this gets the job done, it's going to piss you off to a large extent.
Lastly, this method is antithetical to coding in general. You most likely NEED the internet to code. Without things like Stack Overflow, you won't be able to solve problems as quickly and your productivity is going to go down.

The work I do is very boring. I do Drupal development for a series of television stations, and I'm not happy with it. But I need this job to pay the bills, so I have to perform well. Once I start coding, I realize my job isn't the worst thing in the world, and I'll get into a good flow. Starting, though, is the hardest part. These self-controlling applications help give me the start I need and don't let me give up so easily.
