For a while I had a journal, and I would force myself to read the article, and write a summery of how it’s relevant to my life, how can I benefit from it, and how I might be able to apply the information. I kept this up for about a week. It cut down my HN usage to about 5 articles a day, and it made me more selective on which articles I would open. It became a chore and I didn’t stick with it, but it could transform the passive reading experience into a more contemplative activity. Ymmv.
