Self-control only goes so far, but if (like me) you have trained yourself to flick to reddit as soon as you get even slightly bored, it's a good way to untrain that behaviour.
I'm in this camp--if I'm working on something in a browser and I get bored, my reflex is to open a new tab and do HN or reddit before I know what I'm doing.
Did a combination of Chrome/Safari nanny plugins for a while, but the effort of `sudo` + password seems to be working better and is a bit easier to turn on/off for me.
