I’ve been trying to find a better way to disconnect from the "always-on" vibe of 2026. Last month, I noticed I was using porn videos as a way to forcibly shut my brain off after staring at work spreadsheets all day. It was almost like a physical switch, but I realized I was doing it more out of mental exhaustion than anything else. I finally talked to my partner about how I was feeling burnt out, and we decided to start a "sunset ritual" where we leave our devices in the charger and just sit on the balcony for 20 minutes. It’s helped me move away from using the internet as a numbing tool. Does anyone else feel like their digital consumption is a reaction to being "plugged in" too long?
