There's a few of these plugins.

What I actually want is a plugin that makes the time wasting sites unbearably slow. This way if I need to check something on one of these sites, I can do so without disabling the plugin.

Maybe you can do something with increasing latency the longer you stay on the site.

There's an extension called Delayed Gratification that just introduces a 30-second delay for the initial loading of sites for which it is enabled.
I tried this once, and funnily enough it worked for a bit, but I ended up pulling out my phone while waiting for a site to load one day, and then laughed at the irony of what was happening.
In the screenshots of this plugin there is a "this is important" button that seems to let you into the site without disabling it.
