Not sure if you’ll find this helpful. But I feel like I have similar traits. And these can also be sometimes labelled as ADHD (hyper focusing).
What helped we was to clean my life aggressively of all the distractions. I don’t use social media. I don’t subscribe to newsletters. I turn off most alerts on apps and use focus mode with whitelisted set of apps most of the time.
I funnel all content to RSS as much as possible. For newsletters I use kill the newsletter forwarder.
Even HN I funnel thru RSS.
Then I read RSS feeds only once or twice a day, deliberately, like a book or a newspaper. And there’ll be a couple of days per week where I might not even read at all.
I found this sort of bounded consumption highly beneficial.
