This is the ultimate remedy: I installed StayFocusd in my Google Chrome browser.
StayFocusd is an app that restricts my access to chosen websites. Right now, the app allows me only a total of ten minutes daily to access Facebook, Youtube, and 9gag. When I report for work next year, I plan to include Grantland, Digg, NBA, and other websites to my list of "banned" sites.
Why am I doing this? That's because I have the most convincing symptom of an Internet addict: I "involuntarily" spend an inordinate amount of time browsing the net.
I also want to be more productive with my time and that means forcefully shutting off my own tendencies. Internet marathon browsing is one of those.
Good luck to me.
