I learned something about myself last year during NaNoWriMo. I cannot be trusted with an internet connection, if there is writing to be done. I spend more time looking at Failblog and Cracked than I do working on whatever I am working on.
Just to underline that. That, aside from random ideas coming up, is one of the reasons why I carry notebook and pen with me when I go somewhere.

Alternatively, if you prefer writing at your computer, unplug the internet. Not just deactivating, plug out the cable. Or turn off the wifi. Or router. The more work it is to activate it again, the less inclined you are to do it. And if you have a laptop with a halfway decent battery, go somewhere where you can't get internet. This is also helpful if you need a new location for fresh inspiration.

Okay, I was rambling. Make out of this what you want.
