Shouldn't you be working?
To help with my productivity, I downloaded an extension for my Google Chrome browser called StayFocused. Simple to use and effective- you tell it the sites you want to restrict your access to, and it defaults to 10 minutes on those sites a day. I tried to up the time to 20 minutes, but it gave me a pop up window advising me not to do it, and then when I ignored it, it gave me another pop up about about "seriously, why are you doing this?" and something about giving electric shocks to kittens.
