I find any site that has a long/infinite feed of posts a bit like daydreaming - you don't know what thought is going to come up next, you hop from one thought to the other to the other, thinking about mostly useless things or even things that bring down your mood until you suddenly snap out of it realising how much time has been wasted. A relative easy fix here is to add some hurdles to seeing feeds in the first place e.g. - uninstall apps on your phone and bookmarks in your browser. - install uBlock ad blocker and block pages with feeds like the front pages of reddit, the Youtube front page and recommendations sidebar, all of Facebook etc. Or even block by DNS. You can turn all this off but at least you have to make a decision to do it. I find when I have to purposely search for things I'm much less likely to get roped into daydreaming through feeds and will make progress on useful things I want to learn more about. At least Hackernews doesn't update that often and isn't full of useless memes.
