How to follow the news without doomscrolling
Doomscrolling is a pace problem, not an intelligence problem. Here’s a straightforward way to stay informed while protecting your attention.
The 4-step fix
- Turn off notifications (remove the trigger).
- Pick one daily time window (create an ending).
- Use a short sourced summary (reduce noise).
- Reflect for 30 seconds (turn info into meaning).
