Ask HN: How do you keep away from HN?

Build something like this for web monitoring:

...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.

WOW, Thats a good start up idea tho...

What'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.

I think you can override it by logging out of HN (no commenting then, but you can still read).

Reserve time for HN in your schedule. So you won't spend too much time on it. :-)

I 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.

I go outside.
