I knew a guy that did 1h per day of offline work (no Internet on his computer for that 1h). Kind of requires that you download all your materials. A side effect is that if people around you know you are doing this they also leave you alone for that one hour.
But ultimately it is about self awareness - as soon as you become aware you are procrastinating or dozing off you need to scream at your brain to go back to doing what you said you would do. After all what kind of person would not keep his word to himself ... (yes mind tricks and self shame work too).
