- You can try something like Pomodoro, which is like a timer running forcing you to focus for 25 mins, followed by a 5 minute rest. - You can install web plugins, which will allow you to measure where you are spending time online, this will sort of show you how bad it has been - If a complete computer detox helps, you need to follow it up - You need to fill your day with more enriching activities

Remember, every habit takes ~21 days to get complete hold of. So, need to consistently do it for a while.

Pomodoro's downside is that concentration takes more than 25 minutes and the breaks should be longer. But adjust as fits as long as you can stick to it. I go with 1 hr work/30 min break.

The brain processes creative thoughts while 'inactive'. But it's vital not to think of other things - especially social media. Breaks like walks, lunch, shower, naps will keep your brain processing.
