I keep trying to manage my on-line experience to be what I want it to be. I have ad blockers. I run an extension on YouTube so I don't see any suggested videos and can't spend hours surfing it. I don't have a lot of social media on my phone. I put my computer in an inconvenient room when I go to bed so I don't look when I wake up. I put every screen I have in grayscale.

Yet it's still hard to stay off of stuff that's addicting. It's like the incentives are not aligned for these places to have me be productive. They want me to doomscroll instead.
