One way you can add to it is to make getting on the Internet inconvenient. For example, you could do work on a computer that's not connected to the Internet in another room. You're going to really ask yourself if you *really* need to get on the Internet.
If that's too drastic, you could just disable your Ethernet or Wireless connection, so you add an extra step to getting on the Internet, and hopefully having to enable your network connection before you uses the Internet makes you more cognizant of what you're doing--being unproductive unless you have a written mission beforehand.
