When you have to work, disconnect your Ethernet cable.

For many, that's not an option. My work requires Internet access.

For that there's leechblock : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476 It's analogous to noprocrast.

Any idea where I can get something like LeechBlock that works system wide (on OS X Leopard)? I usually access news feeds via NetNewsWire and my primary browser is Opera, so LeechBlock is not an option for me.

For news feed you should use a planet aggregator like Planet Venus: http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/ It generates a static html page that I read once a day.

And why don't you switch to ff ?

Planet Venus looks nice. Thanks :)

I like Opera better.

Better yet, get 2 computers and put them in separate rooms.
