Proposal for Managing the Addictiveness of This Site
pavelludiq: Like i care what people on the internet think. I am a pretty shameless person, so this is a bad idea IN MY CASE. Maybe it will help other people, i don't know.The problem is more fundamental than that, procrastination seems to be a big problem with a lot of people here on HN, including me. I've been searching for answers and ways of countering it, i have thought a lot about the causes and effects.My conclusion is that it is not HN that is the problem, procrastination is deeper that that, HN doesn't have anything unique that makes it addictive, there are many activities that are addictive in the same way, and a lot of them are offline, so its not an internet problem. Its a human problem. I have found that i am more productive without internet though, but not that much, it just takes me longer to find distractions.
