Is less really more?

I was proud that I'm not active in FB or Insta or Twitter or LinkedIn and therefore less prone to doom-scrolling. The only exception I gave myself was WhatsApp where real interactions with people I know can happen. 

The reality was most group interactions fell in one of the categories I listed and was sucking up so much mindspace. I still doom-scroll news sites. I should probably stick to a routine of reading a newspaper everyday to overcome the online newsfeed addiction too.
