You have a fear of missing out on information, on the new. Switch to only weekly reading of news, therefore look at hacker news on the weekends by using this link http://hackernewsoverload.appspot.com/week http://hackernewsoverload.appspot.com/week. It allows you to go through each day of the week, now select everything you want to read, push it to 'pocket' and when monday comes, that will be your reading for the week. Also, subscribe o weekly newsletters, which already do the curation for you and then select the links you want. This lets your brain know that you will not miss out on anything and will allow to reduce the anxiety of missing out on something cool.
- derefr 13y agoI mostly come to HN these days to participate in the community discussion. That doesn't really work when you're replying to week-old comments. :)
- hatu 13y agoI think pages like Reddit and HN with some insightful blog posts kind of give an illusion of learning new novel things without adding that much real knowledge. I've pinned them under entertainment because that's what they really are for me. If you really want to learn new things, take a 30min to one hour break and sit down with a book and work on one chapter of something you're interested in.
