Let’s face it, Internet is addictive. Sometimes, we land up in some social site like Orkut, YouTube or MySpace and end-up spending countless minutes of productivity. Of course, we can multitask, but multitasking just makes it a lot hard to remain focused. Distraction can still steals your focus and make you less productive.
My brother, Jeethu, pointed me towards a super-handy greasemonkey script called Grindstone. It helps you remain focused on your important tasks by blocking websites which eat away your productivity. You block websites for certain period of time. For instance, you can configure Grindstone to block YouTube.com for ‘x’ number of minutes, visits or during business hours (9am to 5pm). 
There are similar add-ons for Firefox like LeechBlock or PageAddict, but I personally prefer Greasemonkey scripts over add-ons because of performance issues caused by installing lots of add-ons. The developer has put up a 60 second quick screencast, check it out.
You’ll need to install Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox 2 or 3 before installing this script.
