Thank you for sharing this article sunasra, accurately describes how I spend (too much of) my time. I am slowly getting better at controlling how much infosugar I intake, but it's still a pesky habit.

Most of the time I waste online is HN-related. I'll read articles that at best I only have a passing interest in. Whilst I enjoy knowing a little about a lot, I'd still prefer to be chipping away at larger projects, even if I only have a few minutes at a time to spend. Time for another HN detox...

Turn it off, put it down, go outside. Talk to people. Or make something with your hands.

This is exactly the same like junk food. The solution is the same.
