Title: I remember my first days of HN and reddit very well. I was around 16 and I was eager to learn. Suddenly,  I find out about these websites with hundreds of links filtered by popularity, all telling something interesting that I hadn&#x27;t learned about before.<p>Instantly, I was hooked. Days I spent scrolling through &#x2F;r&#x2F;programming, picking out the most interesting topics and spending whole weekends reading up on blogposts and applying the knowledge I had just learned.<p>I had always been an autodidact as school bored the shit out of me. So my primary source of learning was the internet.  And discovering these websites was like heaven.<p>Now it&#x27;s 2 years later and I&#x27;m stuck. I want to be productive but I keep catching myself being stuck in endless pages of HN and proggit. I&#x27;ve got the feeling that every post that  will ever be made as already been made and that I&#x27;m reading the same things over and over again. keep my hopes up that I will once again read something really interesting but I always get dissapointed.  But the worst part is, I can&#x27;t stop it. I can feel the productivity get drained away yet I&#x27;m blind to it.<p>I&#x27;m Arian and I have an addiction. I&#x27;m stuck in the vicious HN-&gt;Proggit-&gt;HN cycle and I don&#x27;t know how to get out... Please help me
