       After years of trying various methods, I broke this habit by
       pitting my impatience against my laziness. I decoupled the action
       and the neurological reward by setting up a simple 30-second
       delay I had to wait through, in which I couldn't do anything
       else, before any new page or chat client would load (and only
       allowed one to run at once). The urge to check all those sites
       magically vanished--and my 'productive' computer use was
       unaffected.
