This isn't quite the same thing, but when I need to do any kind of real work on a computer, I always use my laptop instead of my desktop. I realize not everyone has this luxury, but my laptop is extremely basic (i.e. I only need it for programs like Office and whatnot). On it, I keep everything recreational off of it, so when I sit down to work (in a room away from my desktop), I won't get distracted. If I try to do anything productive on my main computer, I will inevitably waste SO much time by chatting, surfing, fiddling with games, whatever. So my advice is if you can use a machine for your schoolwork that doesn't have anything fun to do on it, use that to remove temptations.
Also, if you're a huge minesweeper fan like me, make sure you don't plug in a real mouse. This will slow your playing way down and make it impossible to get good times, thus discouraging more play!
