MacFreedom.com offers an app for Macs or PCs that lets you block the machines’ access to the Internet for a specified amount of time. You’ll surely waste less time when the block is on; “if you chicken out, you can reboot your computer and the block is canceled.” ($10)
SelfControlApp.com grants self-control to those who have none. Its Web-based app blocks email and specific Web pages for a preselected amount of time and won’t let you change your mind.
