> I wonder how that time is being spent. Doomscrolling?

I hate, doom scrolling with a passion. And still I am doing it from time to time, On reddit, youtube shorts or even a little bit on HN. It just seems like wasting time by being bombarded with stimuli.

On one hand I give my self the fault, weak will power and missing volition to change it. On the other it true that the environment has real impact on my behavior. Maybe simply blocking reddit and shorts is the best approach.

But I dont know.

YouTube shorts is the worst. I want nothing to do with them, but I consume a lot of longform content on YouTube. On a regular basis, I find myself scrolling through shorts without even realizing it. i’ve tried all sorts of things to hide them, but from what I’ve seen it’s impossible.
