Eliminating certain sites and eliminating the internet is basically the same thing for me. As a programmer, I&#x27;m always on the internet researching problems and solutions. I don&#x27;t count that because it&#x27;s not an instant fix, it&#x27;s the work I put into getting the fix, which is solving my problem and seeing my program work.<p>I&#x27;m tempted to start consuming the internet solely through my kindle (again, just the instant fix sites: hn, reddit, facebook). It would slow my consumption way down and I&#x27;d only be able to use it when I&#x27;m not working. But, I need to find a way to stick to that and not also read HN and Reddit while I&#x27;m at the work computer. The only tried and true solution I&#x27;ve found for that is to get an accountability buddy. I tried to do that once in person with co-workers (I offered to give them $20 if they can catch me consuming caffeine), but in the end they were uncomfortable taking my money. The next step is researching those accountability buddy startups, where you give money to an organization you hate if you fail.
