Is there a program or fix that I can use to lock myself out of programs except for some specified times, so I can stop distracting myself from writing? I'm a Mac user.

There are some lockdown programs, but parental controls should do the job. In Mac OS X, go to System Preferences, then Accounts, select the Parental Controls tab, and set whatever restrictions you want. If the accounts are dimmed, you will need to enter the administrator's name and password. You could set up a special work account that only allows you to exchange email with a number of specified addresses, so you don't miss anything important.
