I've found that this is kind of a brain-hack. Adding the article to Instapaper or opening the tab itself satisfies my FOMO even if I don't actually read it or only glance at it later before closing or marking as read. I do a similar thing for side-projects - I have a Google Doc where I keep a list of side projects. When a new one comes up or when I find myself fixated on ideas for an existing one I just write the ideas down in the doc, likely to never be read again. Writing them down seems to get them out of my head.
