I fell into a habit of wasting significant amounts of time reading HN and Reddit. I found that I drastically cut back when I installed Mind The Time for Firefox[1]. Seeing the sheer amount of time I was spending on various sites brought about a feeling of shame and I've worked to prevent it happening again since. I've cut back on reading Reddit as it's just a total junk source and waste of time now. I still spend a little time every day reading HN as it's of higher quality and generally offers something of substance. Then I skim The Guardian and The Telegraph once or twice per day to keep up with the general news. I also found a site called SkimFeed[2], I believe I first found it on here actually, which I use pretty heavily for skimming through the headlines.
