How do ADHD people cope on here?

1. share-links

   1 6 - -

   I don't think I have ADHD but I created a shaarli clone (https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links/) in order to be able to store, share and retrieve all the interesting link (the act of sharing interesting links happens more frequently now that I have a dedicated tool to store/retrieve them) :P

3. Feeder

   2 32 - -

   Reading HN via an RSS reader on my phone has helped my ADHD. Using the Feeder app I can skim headlines, find ones that interest me, pin them for coming back to later and bookmark for saving for posterity. Feeder lets me bulk mark posts as read so that I don't have to see old posts again. Navigating RSS feeds from my phone not my computer means I separate work and procrastination more effectively.

4. selfcontrol

   3 119 4,143 0.0 Objective-C

   :skull: Mac app to block your own access to distracting websites etc for a predetermined period of time. It can not be undone by the app or by a restart – you must wait for the timer to run out.

   

   This app: https://selfcontrolapp.com/

   I don't quite know how it works, but it allows me to setup a website block list that I can't get around. I'm sure if I really tried I could figure out what it changed and get around the block, but 1) then it would defeat the purpose and 2) that takes effort that I don't want to spend.

   Then I put my phone in the other room, and voila! 95% of my distractions are out the window.

5. OneTab-Night-Mode

   4 50 32 10.0 CSS

   Little theme for the onetab page to make it less eye raping.

   

   Several other people mentioned the "file away" open tabs approach (but not necessarily try to go back to them). I'm a big fan of the One Tab extension for this: https://www.one-tab.com/ for this task. I have it in both my browsers FF (personal) and Chrome (work), and I have history of interesting stuff from HN from years back. I don't plan on ever going back to all those links, but it helps to save them to avoid FOMO.

   I also have a script[1] for cleaning up my Desktop (which gets filled by various files I download). It puts all the contents into a date-named folder, in subfolders based on file extension.
