This is me so bad. I have it in the good and bad ways.
In the good I will run couple marathons a month and in the bad I will eat whatever I can find.
I always felt like an outcast, good to hear I am not alone :)
For media consumption it is exactly the same. The good is that I get to the nitty gritty of technical problems. But I also read the unless crap till no end.
I have been able to ditch Twitter, reddit, Facebook and Instagram but I just substitute it with hackernews and YouTube.
- xkbarkar 4y agoHaha. Same here. I have gotten back into reading though. That took a while because I lost the ability to concentrate on books as I grew more dependent on streaming and social media. Its been about a year now, since I left all the major social media hubs, got incredibly selective on daily news (only one local media outlet and a couple of polar opposite international ones that I pay for) and cut down on watching streaming services, that I started to be able to concentrate on reading books again. I grew up reading everything I could get my hands on. I missed it terribly. HN and youtube still stick. Mostly tutorials, workouts or info videos ( Andrew Huberman, justforfunc, 3blue1brown etc. ) on youtube though.
- riekus 4y agoSame, but with books and audiobooks I just misuse them in the same way, feels like consumption addiction, even though, like you, it is all in the selfhelp / tutorial / learning space.
