How to Deal with Internet Addiction?

Question

I find it hard to keep off from mindlessly browsing the web.It's become second nature to Ctrl+T and 'fa' for facebook, 'news' for HackerNews, 'red' for reddit, etc. that I barely notice I'm doing it.I also regularly stay up another hour instead of going to sleep, "to catch up" on things that really don't matter or I can view tomorrow.

Have a blocklist in your HOSTS file. That way, even if you go to those sites from your browser, you are not able to access them.
