Yep, I didn't find Rescuetime very helpful. I tend to think employee monitoring is evil and if I am personally not engaged in the work I am doing I would rather find engaging work than look at the time I waste on other things (HN, for example).
A proposed startup: web interface that would block all devices totally (or simply from the internet) for certain period of time. For instance, you could click a button when you get home from work that says, "I'm done for the evening" that removes all electronic distractions until some set time in the morning.
Possibilities exist on different devices for this, but nothing that ties them all together. Of course, it may not be that popular since not all that many people that are addicted to their devices treat it as a serious problem to be remedied (HN addicts included).
Depends obviously on the implementation. If it was seemless, didn't need to be configured, and actually worked, I'd pay something like, I dunno, $3.99 a month.
