I keep my internet off most of the day (via kernel firewall). Have a command that gives me a few minutes of internet so I can look up docs, then shuts everything back down.

If you're on a Mac then i can recommend Dash app for offline docs libraries. For me it's completely different experience to code offline (very enjoyable). More thinking involved - less Google/SO.

Can you say more about how you set it up? This sounds like a balanced solution: you avoid the long time sucks but can still look up needed info.

Sounds like a script with iptables. I believe many consumer routers also support time based internet access
