"First, try not to get sucked in the first place. If your tasks don’t involve the internet, don’t go online. If they don’t involve the computer at all, don’t open your laptop. If you do need to go online or use a computer, don’t go to unnecessary sites. I am much more productive when working online if I close my Gmail tab. If there isn’t a show on that you really like, turn off the TV. Commit to doing one thing on your list for just 10 minutes. You know how this works. After 10 minutes, you usually want to do more. When you feel yourself being sucked in by mindless activities, ask yourself if you spent the last hour as you intended. What did you want to do with your time, and if you didn’t do it, what can you do now?" - Fred Yankowski
