Is there any research to back the time-suck problem up?

I believe 8aweek's name is derived from such a study, in fact.

well after much googling I couldn't find any reference to it. Can anyone help me out, it appears my google ninja skills are not up to it for this. Paul you invested in them maybe you can point us in the right direction. I am still not convinced this is a problem.

Wasting time online is a universal problem that is only getting worse.

I will give it a go to see if it gets me being more productive.
