It makes me more productive in my life. Like, last night, I was like “What should I do? Netflix has nothing good on, Reddit discussions are shit, video games aren’t fun anymore… I guess I could clean my apartment?” And now my apartment is clean.

It’s also gotten me to work on improving on stuff I actually enjoy instead of wasting my life.

I feel this so much! It feels like they’ve turned entertainment into this great big hamster wheel of hyper-stimulation, but now its gone so fast that axel broke and it just doesn’t work anymore. Like so much of what comes out now is actively unappealing to me and its given me enough of a reprieve to actually start building positive replacements for my hyper-consumption, hyper-stimulation routines.
