Honestly, I can same the same thing for Hacker News, or whatever website you find yourself habitually visiting. If you are sitting at a computer or phone with nothing in particular to do, do you immediately start to go to certain sites? It's worth taking a week or two off from those sites (or relegating them to one day a week) and seeing what changes. Sometimes it's like a mental fog lifting. When you don't have something you're reflexively doing, you start to think about what you actually want to be doing.

In my case: taking time off of alcohol lead to now only having a drink a few times a year; even taking a day off from a videogame helps break the dopamine cycle and I am then more-free to make decisions about my time; and going longer without food helps me eat healthier, feel better (reducing inflammation and acid reflux, notably), and not waste food.
