Well...
You can work for 30min, take a 10min break, work for another 30min, take another 10min break, etc. For those 30mins that you do work, turn off MSN and anything else that's distracting.
Also, you can treat yourself to something AFTER you finish your work so that you have something to look forward to. eg: icecream, a TV, etc.
Hopefully that gives you some ideas!

Wow...a serious answer...hehe
See, I'm no good with breaks..because a 10 minute break turns into a 10 HOUR break with me...
And that reward system..I have no self control, so I treat myself while I'm procrastinating..haha
Maybe one day I will learn some self discipline.. *sigh*
Thank you so much for the advice, though!
