Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution for 2024?

Getting away from time wasting things like mindlessly scrolling Reddit. I realized about a month ago it has slowly grown into an addiction... nothing to do? Pull out the phone and scroll.

Now I'm limiting myself to consuming content differently. Checking HN once or twice a day. Using RSS to subscribe to blogs I find interesting instead of having my content fed to me. With the time I'm getting back, I'm putting a lot more energy back into personal learning and finishing my MSCS.

Also fell of the "staying fit" wagon near the end of the year so I plan on getting back to the gym and getting outside more.

if you happen to use NextDNS or an equivalent, i added reddit to my list of blocked domains so if there is something i want to read on there it has to be worth disabling my ad block temporarily.

Not a bad idea! I'll look into it :). The temptation is real all the time.

I recommend using Feedly to organize and browse your RSS feeds. I've been using it for over a decade now!

I used to use NetNewsWire, so I redownloaded it. I'll check out Feedly... never afraid to evaluate new tools.
