Motion
This is a free Chrome app for monitoring and fixing distractions while working. There are many apps which do this like Blocksite for example, but Motion does it a bit differently. Whenever you visit a site that is marked as distracting you get a popup that tells you this. You then have the option to leave the site or tell Motion that you need a minute or more. This is then displayed in a countdown timer and when the time is up you get the popup again.
This may seem like a trivial difference but I've been using it all week and it made a huge difference for me. The constant nagging and having to actually click a button to get another minute on Twitter is a great thing.
