I'm not the one you replied to, but for me:
I read social media when I'm too tired to really engage with anything in a serious way.
I (try to) read TAOCP sometimes when I have a surplus of energy and ambition.
Admittedly, sometimes ambition comes along a little bit after I force myself to do something challenging, but TAOCP is so difficult for me that I really have to be feeling it to make any headway.
