How I manage my Hacker News addiction

2 pointsbegriffs4 comments

Checking news sites can become addictive. Rather than refreshing Hacker News compulsively every thirty seconds, try using a tool to bundle up the stories and email them to you once a day. Then you can set aside a nice block of time to catch up on the news. I like using feedmyinbox.com (not affiliated).

A few years ago I developed a bad case of obsessive compulsive procastination. Since then I use the pomodoro technique religiously. It works great for me, but the last thing I want is a cluttered mailbox full of articles or links. It would freak me out...

Thanks for telling me about Pomodoro. I had never heard of it, and it looks interesting.

Turn your "maxvisits" in your profile down, that's a built in method in hacker news :)
