Thought I'd share a small productivity tip: DO NOT leave Chrome's new tab page on "Most Visited". Even when I'm working effectively, dozens of times a day as I open new tabs Chrome tempts me to check HN by displaying a large icon and making it oh-so-easy to press.<p>A few days ago I switched it to my (empty) apps screen instead. I've noticed a marked reduction in the number of times I knee-jerk open a procrastination page while doing useful web-work like looking up documentation.<p>There are other tricks: /etc/hosts comes to mind, but I find this one strikes a good balance by fighting the Pavlovian reaction I have to seeing the colour-scheme of HN.<p>Thoughts?
