I realized recently after many years puttering around online that I frequently couldn't name anything I had just read over the last four hours.

I haven't taken full control of myself back yet, but that thought was a strong wake-up call to me.

Exactly. This happens to me so often. I put my phone back and then ask myself: “what did I just read / watched?” Most of the time I don’t remember.

I have the opposite experience. I can recall discussions I've read months or years ago. In aggregate, it added a bit of depth to my perception of the world. They gave me a lot more vocabulary to process the world around me, as do good books.

What have you been doing to fight against it?
