Internet addiction

[Ekco]

My prolific contribution to this forum, which is a cesspool of regressive and immature discourse, has reached a critical point of diminishing returns. I must extricate myself from this deleterious environment posthaste.

However, I cannot completely sever my connection to the digital realm, as some of my professional obligations require the use of computational devices. I intend to employ software tools that restrict my access to certain applications and websites on both my laptop and my phone. What strategies have you employed successfully in the past to overcome your cybernetic dependencies? I seem to be trapped in a cycle of substituting one form of online compulsion for another. Massively multiplayer online games, social media platforms, Reddit, niche forums.

Is this the normative state of affairs for most people in this age of information overload? I plan to resume my practice of yoga, in addition to my physical regimen of resistance training and cardiovascular exercise.
