I had a terrible night of sleep. I spend way too long doomscrolling X and Reddit about the Greenland stuff. It's probably time to distance myself again from those platforms, but it's really hard when they also provide value I rather not miss.

I started blocking those sites and creating actual calendar events where I'm "allowed" to look at this stuff. This week even more. There's the WEF at Davos and politicans flying in constantly and all news sites in CH are full with coverage. Can't take it right now.

I added 'Trump' to my muted words list, which helps a bit. Unfortunately Reddit does not provide this.

Sadly for me muting is not enough, I go looking for it myself and I end up spiraling. I'm going to look into apps that can hard lock social media between certain hours.

Can recommend one-sec.app

one-sec.appone sec | Stop mindless scrolling – scientifically.one sec forces you to take a deep breath whenever you open social media apps. It’s as simple as effective: Friction removes instant gratification and makes distracting apps less appealing.
