1st I make use of uBlock Origin filters and I blocked all distracting sources (social media, reddit, etc)

2nd I also blocked via browser any images so I have only text

3rd I try to learn or read about things that fit into my interest zone while avoiding anything else

4th Since I live with my gf I try to spend as much time as possible with her (talking mostly), this way we're both off the distracting internet sources

I value my time more since I'm in my mid 40s, I don't think I waste my time on the internet if I'm reading about something that (see point 3)

When I was a child and right after high-school, the internet was either non-existent or not-accessible. But I do believe that it's the most beautiful thing invented in the last century, it's mind blowing how much can you learn/see/find if you don't waste your time into scroll/click spiral.

If you know where to look/search, there are treasures everywhere on the internet.
