Relevant self-discipline/torture software: SelfControl. Desktop-only, might be Mac only.

Add sites to your "Blacklist," set the timer and commence ultimate distraction-free productivity. I used this many times in the past before I was able actually get work done on my own accord, and it was frustratingly effective.

Basically, once you set the timer you can not access those websites by any means, at all until the time is up. If you uninstall SelfControl, restart your computer, use any other browser or private browsing- nothing. It's deadlocked, unless you get a new hard drive.
