I've been experimenting with working away from an Internet connection, and it's been working really well for most things. It has two great features:

- it forces me to focus only on code when I'm coding, since 9gag/Reddit/Facebook aren't available, and

- it forces me to get up and walk around and do physical things when I'm taking a break from coding

I find I am less fatigued and about as efficient, even if it means building a queue of Googleable bugs/questions that I return to when I'm back on the internet.

For osx, https://selfcontrolapp.com is also useful for blocking 9gag/Reddit/Facebook, but it will still let you get on stackoverflow

I think for windows there is https://getcoldturkey.com/
