> [...] and that it is another distraction from free thinking time. But do you actually need to maximize this "free thinking time", whatever it may mean for you? Personally I think everyone should allow themselves to tune out for a bit. Not every waking (or sleeping) moment has to be min/maxed with doing something "productive" (again, whatever that means for you). Sure, deny yourself the doomscrolling (I really should), but that doesn't mean one should go cold turkey on any kind of stimulation.
