I don’t get much pompous extract from the author (in contrast to many other “here’s how I structure my days to maximize my inherent awesomeness” articles; the Stephen Wolfram ones come to mind here).

In my own life, I have one (niche hobby) site I probably spend too much time on and watch a lot of YouTube when I’m bored (almost exclusively on the TV so displacing sports/other TV). I’ve noticed that if I let mindless consumption drift into too many areas, it takes over like weeds, but just a little bit of consciousness helps me keep/regain the balance I want in my life.

I see the structure as the author keeping the balance they want and sharing some details about it.
