http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=69119 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=69119 I think nostro was on point with that post for both burnout, and reading too much hacker.news. I think we're all afflicted with it to some extent because we're invested in this community, so we kinda like to catch-up on the going-ons of our community. However, if it's taking over to the point that you can't get work done, that should indicate that whatever your startup is just isn't interesting to you, or has no meaning. Ideally, your startup idea should be something you're glad you did on your deathbed. Otherwise, you might as well work for someone else. Sometimes, I forget why what I'm working on has any meaning. It's easy to get lost in the details. That's why it helps to write down a clear and concise vision, so you can refer back to it. That said, you just have to know how you work best. block hacker.news when you work best. open the floodgates when you have your low points in the day. It's different for everyone.
