+CLICK ANYWHERE TO DISMISS
+One of the most insidious and persistent addictions I have had to manage and overcome in my life, is my addiction to videos on screens. It began with TV after school, then videos on the computer, then YouTube. I realized my addiction before short form hit the dopamine receptors of a generation. Although that was because I was too poor to get caught by Vine like my friends at church. Noooo, my battle with content addiction has been long and fraught with failure. However, one of the most reliable methods I have found for curbing use, is to cultivate the act of curation. That is, document your habits, assess the content for value. Don't begin by making judgements. Just keep a record of what you watched and organize it by how valuable you think it is. From there, see how your choices of what to watch and when change. Learning to work with my brain instead of against it began by understanding my addiction to content. Anyway, here is a selection of playlists from that journey. There's some interesting stuff here, but future watchlists in other parts of this website will undoubtedly be better and more thoughtfully curated. - JL
