Re:Chrome 80 Is 30% Slower Than Chrome 75 by sdegutis on Saturday February 08, 2020 @04:40PM (#22278591)
I've been internet free for almost a year and a half, and it's wonderful. My ADHD has entirely gone away. I'm reading anywhere from 30-60 minutes every day. It sounds like you're on a similar path. I'll pray for you that it all goes well. If I were you, I wouldn't delay it much longer, things tend to get in the way and make us put off important life changes.

> In a couple of months I will be cutting off most of those time consuming tasks, whether that's FB, Reddit, HN, following politics, mindlessly looking for entertainment/escape. It's a life choice and I'm really looking forward to it.

Forgot which book it was, Sinner's Guide or Philothea, but the author said that Hercules went off into a lonely area to debate with himself what kind of life he ought to life, and he concluded that a life of virtue is the only one living. Your statement reminded me of it because (a) it's purely a choice of the will, which is the only thing we really have control over, and the only thing we own that nobody else has control over; and (b) he went off away from the busyness of the world in order to have an opportunity to think about his life and how he should live it.
