You might want to look into Pomodoro. It helped me get rid of the tic you describe.

The diet is to try getting rid of something deeper :)




Pomodoro (or something similar to it) worked for a while, but I found myself gradually putting off getting started.


Same exact prob. The 25-minute counter is there on the desktop. I just haven't pressed play yet. Instead, there is HN to go through.


Perhaps a second timer, then, to limit your breaks?
