Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Don't Click to Recommendations, It's Not a Good Source of Distraction

Don't get sucked into wasting time on YouTube. Treat it like a library, not a channel. Use plugins to remove distractions and only access it for specific information. Find other high-quality ways to entertain yourself and gain value, like reading a book or exercising. Train yourself to lose your taste for YouTube as entertainment and avoid falling into black holes of recommendations. Library, not channel, will give you the most value with fewer negative effects.
