I'm 40, so when I was a teenager the internet did not have so much different distractions. My mind was great at focusing. I'd read books, cover to cover, and tune out everything else. I'd sit hours and hours straight and make websites for IE4.
today I struggle to read a chapter in a book without getting distracted.
It's pretty disheartening to notice.
I'm much better at other things, but I wish I could still read like I used to.
I think the worst ones for me right now are YouTube and hacker news. I'll have a look at the procrastination settings here, but for some &£@£# reason my phone won't uninstall YouTube. |

Same thing.
If anything, any strategy I tried just made me replace awful content with more quality content.
But you can still be addicted to "good" content. And it’s harder to block because the FOMO is harder with sites like HN and interesting YouTube content.
