On Brave I use "StayFocused" and set a maximum time per day. For YouTube etc. there are similar tools as well. Restricting access works best for me. Also, let someone else manage your password for these tools, otherwise you just change the settings when you feel a strong urge to visit HN even when you set daily time is over.
Whit bookmarks, ideas and others, I keep track of them and once in a while filter. If I did not look at a bookmarked
page in the last 3 weeks I will probably not in the future (unless it is a source for work or a hobby project). You might know this principle with items in your house.
On a side note, please be aware that the described problems can be symptoms of ADHD but are common in people without (like me) as well and are, to some degree, normal. If you look at the problem biased to ADHD you might miss underlying causes that are not ADHD related like lack of sleep or exercise, nutrition, anxiety etc. I am saying this as I spent my early 20s diagnosed with a disorder and overlooked base causes for my problems through the lens of this disorder and chasing solutions for issues that were not the route causes of my problems.
I am NOT saying that ADHD is not the cause but sharing a personal experience. , and I have a relative with ADHD, so I see the struggle.
