Getting rid of Twitter and only checking RSS feeds once or twice a day (or every few days) helped me a lot, as did disabling all notifications for new emails (no sound, no notification popups, no new message count badges on the icon). These things were all immensely distracting to me. I also block many sites (including HN sometimes). But I always find ways to keep procrastinating and nothing ends up really working all that much for the core problem.
