I know it sounds silly, and I joked about it for a while before trying it. I put HN, reddit, and news.google.com in my hosts file pointing to localhost. The extra few seconds it would take me to modify that file, and the knowledge that I was breaking something I explicitly put up for my own good, keeps me from visiting these sites.

On the other hand, I've learned a lot of new distracting sites this way :(
