Well intended article that is a long winded recommendation to turn off your phone notifications and stop reading news. It could be a lot shorter. Aaronsw had similar thoughts about the news, back in 2006: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews
It is advice worth following, I think, though not so easy a lot of the time. My main trick for online distraction avoidance is to use separate computers for goofing off and for getting work done. Needless to say, reading HN or posting on it = goofing off.
