I think I should do something similar to my addiction to HN. I find myself glancing HN feed several times in the day with insatiable need to know the shiny new things. I'm going to try to restrict myself to one time a day visit to HN. Lets see if that can get my lazy ass to finally make more contributions in GitHub and do something more productive.
- shakna 10y agoCheck noprocrast in your profile. From the FAQ: In my profile, what is noprocrast? It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.
- reacharavindh 10y agoAh cool. I updated my profile with noprocrast. Now going to check back again after a while to see if it works ;-) Thanks for the tip.
- teh_klev 10y agoDid you know your profile has a "noprocrast" setting which might help you there?
- bamboozled 10y agoSubscribing to the weekly newsletter / digest might help, you still get hacker news, but only once a week ;)
