<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

A lot of self-help guides are straight to the point and suggest limiting internet time and moving my focus to other things like hobbies, non-computer activities, getting out of the house and enjoying life offline. However, I assume these are directed to people who use internet for pleasure and don't have it overlap with their work.

My situation is that I rely on the internet and social media to work and I cannot simply 'unplug'. I have to do a lot of internet based research and sometimes I use sites like Facebook and Reddit to help with that. However I am always overwhelming tempted to 'do the cycle' of checking youtube subscriptions, subreddits, email, forums and a bunch of other websites for updates and new content, and then repeating the cycle. In fact, doing research often brings me new content outside of the cycle that draws me away. I don't want to completely block these sites though since some parts of them can be productive (eg: informative youtube videos and subreddits with relevant and useful discussions to my work). Despite the task at hand, I'm constantly being distracted or I just procrastinate in order to 'get my fix'.

I don't have the self-will to focus on work while such temptations are easily sated and if I completely remove these things from my life, I'll get withdrawl symptoms (loss of concentration, agitation, desire for next 'fix', etc.)

I'm currently using HabitRPG to gamify my productivity, but if I enable the tracker to watch my unproductive site usage, it just about instantly kills me.

Typically software blocks don't work for me either, especially if I install them myself, I'll just disable them whenever I want (yeah... completely defeats the purpose). A software block (browser based or router) using another person to password it would restrict my work. Though I'm tech savvy enough to probably figure out a workaround if I wanted to (site mirrors etc, I could probably VPN into another computer and use that to access blocked sites).
<bot>: Typical internet bad influences are needed for work and can't be blocked. How can temptations to ride the procrastination pleasure cycle be stopped when you can't rely on yourself to stop?
