Oh I understand that Youtube addiction so well!
The problem is that there's really great stuff on Youtube, so it's hard to get rid of because you can really find good quality entertainment and information on there. But it's a huge time sink too....
I installed a browser extension called "unhook", which can hide pretty much everything on Youtube except for the video. So you get no comments, no recommendations, no "watch this video next"... just a blank page with a search bar on top and you have to type in what you want to see. For me this works well to make Youtube just boring enough so I don't fall down into hour long rabbit holes anymore. Maybe that's something you could try...
Your morning routine btw. sounds amazing! Sitting in silence and listening to the sounds of nature, writing out your thoughts is a great start into the day. I always want to start my days like this and I never do. I gotta work on that...
Thanks for being in touch and sharing your thoughts!
