Interesting to hear someone else with that method!
Mine is a little different, to suit different circumstances (I think I have a problem with YouTube and other online venues, but not 6hr+ per day).
For me, it boils down to the phrase "start the day right". When I wake up, I can default to opening the laptop and finding something interesting to look at, or I can sit and wait until I think of something else to do. If I can maintain the willpower needed, it only takes a few minutes for my brain to tell me there's something much more useful or interesting to do.
