People can waste just as much time with less screen real estate. If you're not working when you have two monitors, having one isn't going to change that.

I have a multiple monitor setup on every system I use, and I find it essential for much of my work.

If you're not using your second display properly, that's on you, not the second monitor.

I also think that having a tiling window manager helps at making sure that you're filling up all the available space with things that make you more productive. It makes it harder for the time sinks to seep into view.
