Sometimes I think we have an addiction addiction. To me, it sounds like real work is more boring than consuming information for the author. My solution? Find less boring "real" work. I generally find that the amount of time I spend on HN is proportional to how bored I am with my job. If the work really is interesting, I find that I almost have to force myself to use HN just to take a break.
