I think maybe the reason every generation today is constantly distracted is they are constantly bored and there are lots of frivilous things designed to fill that boredom. They are constantly distracted by things that are designed to give you something to do when you are bored.

I'm bored, lets see what's on TV. I'm bored, lets see what my Facebook friends are doing. I'm bored, let's see what I can buy on Amazon or eBay. I'm bored, let me see what's on HN.

I think a better alternative would be: I'm bored, I'll paint a painting. I'm bored, I'll write up a POC of an idea. I'm bored, I'll read a book. I'm bored, I'll create something. I'm bored, I'll learn something new. I'm bored, I'll go outside and play.

Maybe hide your browser icon and put your code editor / paint / word processor icon in it's place.
