I've had good luck minimizing the amount of time spent on sites like Reddit, facebook, and HN. All of these provide a quick endorpine hit and become addictive.

I've had good luck minimizing the amount of time spent on sites like Reddit, facebook, and HN. All of these provide a quick endorpine hit and become addictive. As a replacement I spend more time on long format project that require longer trains of thought. Read novels, start project that take longer than a few hours, try a hobby like painting or pick up a musical instrument. Don't let your brain become dependant on the quick fix.
