Thanks! I'm addicted to media but have been working on reducing at least the majority of trivial entertainment I indulge in. It's lead to the loss of my attention span because of things presented in snippets unlike a long book (hence I watched this video rather than listening to the 5 hour eBook on YouTube ☺).
