The first step for me in my information fast was to change my default home page from the information-rich iGoogle page I have built to the less cluttered default Firefox home page, consisting of a Google search box. While I am sure that doing this has helped my productivity immensely, there are still moments when I tempted to just check Google Reader, just once.

The other hard part has been my mailing lists. I subscribe to four or five pretty high volume lists, and it was difficult to not read any of the messages getting dumped into my lists folder in Thunderbird. What I ended up having to do was turn off the little pop-up notifications, and after doing that, the major prompt to read those messages went away.

And the twitching isn't too bad, I just can't have open containers of liquid in my hand.
