Less interruptions for developers with offline hours

If you work from home, you can replicate this by unplugging your wi-fi router. Freedom software works too, but I find the physical disconnecting helps make it real.

I get a lot of writing done this way, and there's no need to rely on willpower to avoid checking the internet.

Caveat: If other internet addicted people will be in your house while you work, they will not appreciate this solution....

When you're a web developer sometimes this is a little bit hard. However unplugging your wifi-router could work great when trying a new framework or something, when you don't have to commit changes and stuff, just test something new.

I'm on a Mac and appreciate an app called "Concentrate". It effectively blocks certain apps (like Skype etc.) and websites (Facebook, Twitter, ...) and prevents me from using them! Works great for me.
