I solved this problem by printing anything on the Internet that I want to read. I print it. Staple it. Put it in a physical inbox. Get back to "real work". Surprisingly, having a physical inbox with papers in it consumed no mental space. I feel no pressure to read it all, to get the inbox to zero, etc. When I need to kill 15 minutes, I pick randomly from the pile and read. If I need to go to the doctor's office, I take 10 random documents and read them.
When I do read the printout, I highlight things I want to store permanently and put it in a different inbox which is processed every few weeks. However, this is the exception - probably less than 5% of documents have something I want to store permanently.
