1. Read books, they require you to concentrate. Use computer to take notes and if appropriate, run code samples, look up technical details, check historical facts, etc. 2. Fix posture with one of many back support options and a good chair. Write 'posture' on a sticky and slap it on wall. Get light exercise frequently. 3. uBlockOrigin and NoScript on Firefox allow you to selectively block all kinds of login pages and cookie permissions and so on.

If the FOMO is unbearable, don't go to pub, and maybe get therapeutic help. 6. Avoid IoT smart products, they're mostly a scam with bad security protocols and terrible interfaces. 7. & 8.

It's as if someone asked 'what's eating?' and they were told, 'well, you go to McDonald's and press the button for the thing that looks good, and then you eat it.' Learning how to cook your own meals - i.e. not taking what's on offer from the corporate conglomerate - is a much better and more satisfying option.
