Does anyone know how to use a moderate-to-severe HN addiction to get things done?
- 58x14 5y agoThe same pattern described in the article should be applicable to any time sink. Also, there’s several great threads here mentioning HN explicitly. Occasionally, I’ll use HN to break past writer’s block. I’ve noticed that if I can find an interesting thread, where I might have something interesting to add, my brain flips from consumption mode to output mode. I’ve started using this as a calibration mechanism; how inclined I am to reply to a thread I’m interested in tends to be an indicator of where my mind is on the create/consume spectrum.
