Restriction is the key. There is no point completely avoiding these sites like HN or Reddit. Stay away from vulnerable situations that sucks you in.

I have ditched smartphone and laptop, because they are just an easy access to get lost in time, whenever i feel tempted or frustrated. Right now, I cannot reason out that, I will use my will power and stay away from internet by keeping smartphone close to my pocket. Instead I use internet at work and get the most out of it. Set out time to browse/search information that i really need. Make notes and get out. Its been 4 months without smartphone or laptop. I will continue this lifestyle for a year or two.
