Great advice for all whose hours are sucked up by screens. Curating, selecting, weeding out sites and posts that ignite the survival equipment--these are all desperately needed ways to restore impulse control and carve out some time for learning and life.

Agreed. It’s important to remember that this kind of change doesn’t happen overnight, but requires continued effort and discipline. That includes moving backwards from time to time, and renewing your focus.

100% on that. Studies show technology is as addicting as substances. It takes a while to build back the impulse control hub, effortful control. No doubt, there will be backsliding, but it can be done and is being done.
