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

  1. Turn off notifications (remove the trigger).
  2. Pick one daily time window (create an ending).
  3. Use a short sourced summary (reduce noise).
  4. Reflect for 30 seconds (turn info into meaning).

Try the routine with Tiny Rock

Tiny Rock is a short daily brief designed for exactly this: fewer stories, sources, and a reflection prompt.
