    Your brain just needs more practice at being bored. Then you’ll be able to enjoy long form content again.

    Control your dopamine intake.

    It’s not because your body produces it that it’s necessarily good for you.

    Those are all things I say to myself every once in a while just so you don’t think I’m coming at you with any sense of higher ground.

    This…feels too accurate. I don’t like this. No one told you to wake up today and call me out. :(

    I still need to understand everything. My thirst has only grown over the years. I cultivate my curiosity by reading things that I’m not directly interested in, sometimes grinding through articles that I find boring.

    Ars Technica does a great job of covering a multitude of topics while making them interesting even if I know nothing about them. Check them out: https://arstechnica.com/

    Instead of scrolling on social media, try going directly to a website’s homepage and reading all the articles. You’ll learn a lot and maybe find something you didn’t know you were interested in!
