Just edit your hosts file and route your most time consuming websites (i.e. hackernews) to localhost:

127.0.0.1 news.ycombinator.com www.facebook.com www.youtube.com

On OS X 10.8, routing to 127.0.0.1 did not block the site reliably (with Firefox), but 0.0.0.0 did and still does on OS X 10.11 (with Firefox and Chrome).
