Years ago I heard a writer talk about their process of output. Each day they sit down and write, and each day they have a minimum word count they strive for. On days when they feel sick they still write, and looking back weeks later they’re unable to see

Social media addiction inflicts stress, aggression, anxiety, depression, interrupted sleep, and more, but nobody seems willing to do anything about it. Since weaning myself
