How not to be distracted while working?

Question

Automation

Hello.
I began to pay attention to the fact that I spend a lot of time chatting in all sorts of social networks, watching kittens on YouTube, reading articles on Habré and so on. I decided to find a solution that would block access to social networks and some other resources during working hours, and this very working time is not normalized for me. I am using Win10.
Here's my idea: during the startup of the IDE, a list of resources is added to / hosts / etc, for which access must be blocked. Next, something hanging in the background or running periodically checks for the presence of an IDE process. If the process does not hang, then changes are made to hosts again to allow resources, and if it hangs, then the file is checked for the presence of the very entries that block bad sites (suddenly I break down and correct the file with my hands).
I came up with such a solution, but have not yet reached the implementation, maybe someone will tell you how to implement it? Or, maybe there are ready-made solutions, such or others, but performing the same task?
I would appreciate your help, thanks.

Personally, it is difficult for me to sit down for a task because I usually "burn out" during work and then it is already difficult to start it. For myself, I found the following way out using the "pomodoro" technique, its essence lies in the following, the task is divided into periods of time with a mandatory rest at the end of the working period, usually 25 minutes for work and 3-5 minutes for rest. I use the free program TimeIO , for one thing you can then see what and when you did

Pay a stern guy to sit in the back and pendalize you whenever you're distracted. Pay up front to have it work for a month. An agreement can be drawn up there - you refuse his services, a double fine, and notarize it. Expensive, difficult, but the result will be.

IMHO it is better to treat the disease than the symptoms.

Get started, stop procrastinating! Has the goal been set? Take action immediately. All too often, dreamers get stuck in the "analysis paralysis" phase and never take action. If you don't have a clear plan to achieve your goal, it's okay. You can develop it later, for starters, it's important to just get off the ground. Think maybe something can be done right now? Then take it and do it. For example, if you decide to lose weight, then go to the refrigerator and throw out all the junk food in the trash - right now. Don't plan for it. Don't think about the consequences. Just do it. I will tell you one secret of success: motivation follows action. Action increases your motivation, and procrastination, on the contrary, kills it. So act immediately and boldly, as if failure is basically impossible. Continue to feed your passionate desire, and then one day you will realize that success is inevitable - it's only a matter of time. Steve Pavlina

This problem is not only with us, but also with many people who work on the Internet, and in order to solve it, as for me, you just need to make a plan for the day and give yourself a setting - first I complete the plan, and then everything else)
