Hmm, finally some tricks that I could actually see myself use! Especially the healthy intellectual “snacks”. I mean I can get stuck on HN for a long time, but to be honest I could also do a course that just requires me to listen and eat a (physical) snack or something.
I'm still hoping that a some point this leads to a control over the states, but maybe I should give up that dream :)

Reminds me of what Rocky says to Grace (in the Hail Mary Project): "Sleep first, humans turn stupid without sleep." It's better to recognize it and surrender to it.

It was posted in another thread here on Hacker News and I've been enjoying the more general information because it helps keep me from becoming hyper focused on one subject and scrolling away the hours of the day.
