I know links to long YouTube videos aren’t ideal for platforms like Lemmy, but I thought this was an exceptionally sincere and constructive talk. There’s analysis and solutions for screen addiction. The journalist seems to really know what she’s talking about.

The main thing I got from this was insightful validation: It’s helpful to delineate problematic use from non-problematic use. They discuss the brain patterns that lead to device “addiction” and more importantly, the behaviours that can get us out of it.

Anyway, I learned a lot and saw clearly many of the traps I fall into which was helpful.

I’ll put the TOC here below. I don’t know either of these people and have never heard of them before.

    Interesting. I rarely come across them on my feed but when I have seen them there’s been the argument that they don’t really foster discussion because the medium isn’t accessible as text. I tend to agree.

    I did try to outline the video but I see my TOC has become badly formatted 🤦🏻‍♂️

      You may want edit it and use bullet points by starting each line with -<SPACE>. Formatting is based on CommonMark.

        That works, thank you! I had tried formatting as code and as a quote but didn’t get good results with either so I left it as plain text in the end. I did as you suggested just now and it’s much better.
