> So I have a dedicated hard-drive that I boot into that is strictly for coding. Another is strictly for news & social media. This way if I'm coding, I am less likely to slide into Hackernews/Reddit/Twitter/Whatever. Friction is good and more people need to leverage it.

But then you're also less likely to get back to work once you are in social media, aren't you?

I don't think that would be a problem unless you often find yourself absent mindedly almost accidentally starting to work when you mean to be taking a break.

I imagine the point is to not slide over to social media until the coding is done, at least for a predetermined segment of time. Is that the idea?
