It's like news and opinions, it can help you to keep you up with whatever is moving out there, and sometimes some relevant opinions or counterviews come up. News in general come also with a downside, you can find much literature out there. To me your issue sounds like procrastination, which is normal and very common, just make sure it is not out of your control. Find a balance in how you spend your time, perhaps you would like to read HN as much as a magazine or only the top articles of the week if that helps you.
