have you tried tracking your time? RescueTime, Tagtime, manual logging...? They help you to pinpoint the problem, some people can keep it up forever but I couldn’t. it still taught me a few things about my use of time though.
Do not underestimate the power of feedback. Sometimes it doesn’t feel to amount to much exactly because you don’t have a clear measure on how much time you’ve spent on a particular site.
I tried LeechBlock, but I missed some options there. Such as “let me do anything I want, just keep a big timer displayed showing how long am I already doing that”. I don’t want the software to prevent me from reading Facebook; sometimes I do have a good reason to look there. I just want the software to tell me “hey, did you know that you have already spent 30 minutes there? just saying...”
The movie tells me clearly how much time did I spend watching it.

I think the point is not to know how much time it takes. He seems to know quite well. The point is about how it feels.

There’s a Firefox add-on called Mind the Time that does more or less that.
