Perhaps an odd topic to post on a website, but I have long tried (and often renegotiated with myself) to limit my online interactions so I'm spread less thin. I feel that many websites such as youtube devolve into endless timesinks if left unchecked. I am in luck that true social media has never been a draw for me, so I'm saved that drain, but my online activities remains costlier in terms of screen time than I wish.
I wonder if others make an effort to limit their time and activities online. One thing I am attempting now is to block youtube altogether and replace it with regular films. If I'm going to watch something, I might as well get to the long backlog of movies I have yet to view. There's more use in it as a writer, and greater cultural capital to accrue.
