News about politics is extremely addictive. Rather than checking daily, or twice a day, or 50 times a day, you could block off a few hours once per month and get whatever the benefit is a person gets from keeping track of political topics.
- ChildOfChaos 4y agoTo be honest I am bad with this, but I think really the only time it's actually useful is at any point you can do something about it, else the rest of the time you can avoid. Even a few hours a month seems wasteful to me, there will be a lot of stories playing out and speculation that doesn't mean anything to you right now. Really only at elections is when it seems important to me, do your research and go deeper than most and then make your choice, but avoid the news the rest of the time seems the optional thing to me. You tend to hear about things anyway, everyone has an opinion on this thing and they love to share it, no matter how much they know about the topic, the best way to not get suckered in, is not to follow it at all. I've in no way managed to apply this to my life yet though, but it is my goal.
