This perl script blocks access to the online distractions of your choice for a set period, and removes root access meanwhile. Reboot to override.

Please see the walkthrough here:

In a word, keep a root terminal open while testing, then if something goes wrong it will be easy to fix. This package is patched to work with dcron.

The default setup involves editing /etc/hosts, but see the man page for a more complex suggestion.

EDIT Note that crond should now run automatically on installation; the original version of the package didn't work properly till dcron did its hourly check.
