Ask HN: How do you keep away from HN?
HN => Information Overflow => Drooling/Reading News for Hours => New/Awesome things every 10 minutes => !Addiction!
I just drew a notice on my wall - http://ideamonk.blogspot.com/2009/03/whats-on-my-wall.html
What do you do for this ?
- timothychung 18y agoReserve time for HN in your schedule. So you won't spend too much time on it. :-)
- grinich 18y agoI go outside.
- oldgregg 18y agoBuild something like this for web monitoring: http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/snuznluz.shtml http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/snuznluz.shtml ...5 cents every time you visit a page on your blacklist. Money is automatically donated to AIG pension fund or the enemy dujour... Parlay the user base into holy grail micropayment service = profit.
- spoiledtechie 18y agoWOW, Thats a good start up idea tho...
- manish 18y agoI can't stay away when in office, but when working on my own at home, I hardly visit HN once in may be two hours for 5-10 min.
- zasz 18y agoWhat's wrong with the noprocrast setting? Just set it to keep you away for at least 5 hours at a time. It can't be overridden anymore, which is sweet.
- Tichy 18y agoI think you can override it by logging out of HN (no commenting then, but you can still read).
