Two things to try:
1. Outline the next thing you write, before you write it. It sounds like rewriting as you write is a problem. Outlining gets you out of that habit like few other things can. It forces you to focus on what you're trying to convey and who you want to address.
2. You didn't mention anything about you HN (or other media) use. If you're using that as a way to escape, it's time to stop.

It usually helps when I have laid out some bullet points before writing. > 2. You didn't mention anything about you HN (or other media) use. If you're using that as a way to escape, it's time to stop. I have blocked distracting websites on my work computer, but you could put me in an empty room with white walls and just a typewriter and I would just be as easily distracted. I just start to think about other things when I eliminate all distraction.
