Do they still sell those silly old things? ;-)
To help avoid web-surfing distractions, I've been known to close my browser and set my firewall to "block all internet access". But I guess just disconnecting from the modem will do the trick.
Sometimes it's not procrastination, though. Ideas need time to germinate, away from the word processor, away from writing. Sometimes we're not writing because we don't know where to go with the idea yet. Maybe a "distraction" is really just you putting new information into your brain so it has something to digest and use to form new ideas.
