Try scaling back all forms of social media + notification-based apps and start re-adding them incrementally, one variable at a time, and track how you feel and think in response to each new addition. It takes a while but opens your eyes to the egregious behavior modification taking place on these platforms at scale. I'm at a point in my life where I only care about major, materially-significant news events that could impact my health/safety and the safety of people I care about. I treat all other content as ignorable, nice-to-have at best.
