How I Spend My Attention

You don't need to follow the news very closely. At a certain point it becomes irrelevant.

Take for example the US election. I don't think there's much of a difference between watching it live and just waiting for the result.

In that sense, it's kind of like sports.

Unless you're a key player, if you're watching it closely, it's just entertainment.

And if your entertainment becomes a source of stress and high blood pressure, instead of enjoyment, it's probably wise to consider doing something else.
