Indeed.

It saved me net an hour or more or mindless scrolling every day. Every single day. Not to mention the benefits of no more FOMO, better mental health, etc. AND left me with more time to actually accomplish things I wanted to do but somehow thought I never had the time.

The thing is: you have to find + allocate time and attention (= your most precious resource) to the things that matter most to you.

Since then I've been working on my online learning (30+ courses done, including several DL/ML certifications), read more books, and most importantly, focused on my health by working out nearly every day.

Small wins individually, but they have compounded greatly over time.
