It definitely feels like that more and more for me recently. Sometimes it feels like "I've watched these videos before" on YouTube or I find the memes on Reddit repetitive or unfunny. It gets to the point where I don't mind rewatching videos..

I've taken these feelings as cues to get off the internet and focus my energy toward the "real world", as cheesy as it may sound.

I feel more joy and direct benefit through improving interacting with the physical environment like cleaning the house, learning the science of baking and cooking and giving the results to friends and family.

It feels more like I'm living real life than having my life disappear into the ether of the web.
