Ask HN: How to stop Hacker News addiction?
6 コメント
I started by removing the links from "most visited" on my laptop web browser and phone web browser.
That has helped a lot, and I'm reducing my time here on hn a lot.

Intention really help me cut down on the time per day I waste on youtube/reddit/hn, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intention/dladanha...
Switch on noprocrast option in your profile and put maxvisit to a small number of minutes and minaway to a large one.
I made a viewer[0] to help me find interesting posts amongst the general-type posts split by day and post type. It had the unexpected side-effect of cancelling the slot-machine-hits of finding posts by showing that most posts are mediocre and a large volume are from past days. Now I only check a few times a day and am most often disappointed in not finding more to read. Usually the comments are better than the posts that trigger them, but I don't know how to find/filter for those.

Another idea from me, maybe you can try to focus on daily or weekly of highest-rated posts and ignore other posts. These are the examples (created by Colin Percival):
Daily stories https://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/
Weekly Ask HN https://www.daemonology.net/hn-weekly-ask/
Weekly Show HN https://www.daemonology.net/hn-weekly-show/
The highest-rated posts usually have interesting comments from HN users.
