It is not about HN or The Guardian. Something new always excites our mind and we get addicted to finding something new, something exciting each day.

The first thing is to realize this addiction to escape the present in the form of looking for new information.

Write about it everyday. Slowly, learn to discipline your mind. Make a habit to sit in silence, doing literally nothing for half an hour or so.

One thing you can tell yourself everyday is that every time you do something that is not highly relevant for your wellbeing, you will have less energy or focus for things that actually are.

From there on you can ask yourself, how relevant and useful it is to spend time on HN for your well being or for your experience of life.

Again, it is not about HN, humans find it very hard to face the plain everyday life against the sugary new information. We want it more and more.
