First off, don't get down on yourself about this! A lot of people struggle with internet addiction, and it's easy to turn it around. It just takes one step at a time.

Get rid of reddit and HN first, later you can tackle your blog and Github (as they are at least slightly productive).

If you can break that first impulse to visit these sites, it's a lot easier to control yourself. But you do need to make sure you're not using proxies or some other workaround to access the sites and that will take self control and some reflection.

Reddit: Reddit is nearly a complete waste of time these days. Block Reddit using your hosts file. I redirect reddit.com to localhost where I host a page that says "no reddit! get productive".

HN: Let yourself occasionally browse HN as it's not all trash like reddit. Set up anti-procrastination in your HN user preferences. Make sure to go with the most extreme settings.

two more tips: * Dont bring your computer into your bedroom. I set the power of my router to not provide internet in my room.

* As danso said, USE A TIMER!
