I identify myself with this problem too. Namely, accumulating a lot of browser windows to sit and read plethora of interesting articles and follow them back to HN comments section to gain insights. These windows stay open for days and rot in my double-digit open tabs on mobile or Mac.

However, I completely disagree that the solution should be a push-based notification system (through Telegram). As is notifications are annoying, especially when you're in the middle of deep work. Many a times, random email notifications from irrelevant entities push me off the concentration ladder. What's more, I often put my phone in DND mode, so these kind of notifications are thus useless.

What's probably helpful is to be mindful of how much time can I legitimately spend on reading interesting things across internet. All so that I can produce interesting content some day.



If you want to make the most of your reading time, some sparse journaling is very helpful. I started journaling with logseq two years ago. I started by pasting in an HN link, marking it with the #interesting tag, then writing down a few surface level thoughts/questions. It's nice to know that I can revisit the memories or parse my notes with AI when I'm writing or designing.
