The Digital Sabbath. Also, while we're reinventing ancient traditions for the modern age, how about a Digital Salat - where you unplug and meditate for a few minutes 5 times a day.

My solution is NO active looking for news until Friday, and then only for an hour.

It has greatly increased my overall happiness. And you really start to see news for the attention drug it seems to have become. You also learn what is really important as you'll hear about it. Yes you miss things but honestly, I've found what is missed is really not all that important.
