I have turned off all my news feeds. Still getting used to it but my productivity has already improved. 

 

 

Yesterday, I removed myself from the Trump and US election threads, removed the Washington Post and The NY Times politics feeds from my reader and left all sub-Reddits involved in politics.

 

There's nothing I can do to change the outcome of the US voters' actions, and I don't need to spend time reading about the dumb stuff that is happening or will happen.

 

They get what they asked for. We will deal with whatever affects us when it happens. Until then, it's their problem.

 

I'm quite sure you and @Rikkitic will feel better about life.

I had to do something similar during covid and it was the best thing I could do for myself and my mental health.

As you say you can't change what happens so there's no need to spend your life anxious or angry. It's a terrible way to live and if it doesn't change what's going to happen why put yourself through that?
