Where I've use a separate account for writing, however, that's really *because* it's slightly less convenient for distractions - ie fast user switching is quite slow, or if I want to sign into my instant messenger or work on that python problem I'm itching to solve, it's not done by absent-mindedly clicking the icon etc.
That would also make sense for me. I know of at least one tiny Mac app which is designed for creative writing in that 'take all the eye candy off the screen' way, so we're obviously not the only people with discipline problems.
Ha ha ha! Douglas Adams (author, famous Mac user) used to complain about that too. Can you hear those deadlines WHOOSH past?
