As I've scaled back my social media usage, deleting various profiles, I've discovered YouTube is the most challenging platform to leave behind. I've used it for everything from music to home repairs. I'm not ready to give up YouTube entirely, but I'm determined to stop binging endless videos. Here's how I've cut my YouTube watch-time by more than 75%.

Since deleting Facebook and waiting the 30 days grace period for it to be completely extinguished, it’s baffling that it took me so long to do it.

It’s been 6 years since I went on a news fast (AKA an information diet). When I tell people I don’t keep up with the news, they’re often shocked and sometimes disgusted. They assume I don’t know anything that’s going on in the world or that I don’t care, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

There are those who wonder what life would be like without Facebook, and those who already know. After six years of excuses and three failed attempts, when I finally kicked the habit, I felt free (and angry).
