There is software around to cut off Internet access, things like
Net Nanny . There are several problems with a solution like this.
Does your employer allow you to install your own software on a work computer? Even if they don't specify that you may not install your own software, you need to abide by the spirit of the rules, and if you have an IT guy, he would probably be quite annoyed if you attempted to put it on and it went wrong.
Net Nanny is $40. Are you going to ask work to buy it for you? Imagine how that would make you look: please will you spend money on me because I don't have enough self discipline? You could ask the IT guy if he could fix your access levels if you connect through a LAN, but there you have the same problem.
There is no option to do what you want in Internet Explorer that I know of or can find.
Keena's suggestion is probably the best: use Outlook or ICQ and set a reminder, or use an alarm clock or a kitchen timer. Or set your mobile phone to beep if you have one.
