Is there any advice on staying away from politics

Like each time I go to Google there always a news feed that gives me my attention and then I realized how much time I wasted is any advice you guys could give to minimize the time I spend on news.

Yeah That's my plan

 

Get the cold turkey blocker, the toughest website blocker on the internet. You can’t escape the news/politics (I’m intentionally avoiding it because of how negative it is.) It’s everywhere in society just like social media. Reclaim your life and time.

Don’t look it up. Don’t type it in Google or another search engine. Find a way to block it, if you can’t control it.

 

Stay away from the news. Bad news for your mental health. The news is negative, addictive, myopic, fear-based marketing, shallow, untrustworthy, thought conditioning, trivial, redundant, irrelevant, isn’t actionable, problem-obsessed, and a waste of time. Politics, on the other hand, can be an intellectual study experience. You learn about people’s opinions and have a say on how things should be run by voting. But if you don’t care about politics, then don’t bother. Enjoy your life.

 

Practice and develop click discipline... Only open the things you want to/or need to. It will take some practice, but over time you will become better at filtering useless stuff.

 

Give it 5 minutes a week and stay off social media. Most of the divisiveness, backbiting and contention is on social media. Although the MSM is trying to compete now.

You dont need politics. When you're interested in what's going on in your municipal office, do your due diligence and visit the official website for your town/region and quickly check the social media of local politicians when you deem necessary.

People are obsessed with politics and will tell you it's an absolute must to stay informed every day. That's a lie. If there is something important happening- you WILL hear about it, one way or another. I haven't any form of social media except YouTube and my work Instagram (which I do not use frequently, maybe once a week for a few minutes), and trust me, I find out about things. I was the first to know about the coronavirus pandemic amongst all my peers because I actually did my research and have been watching the WHO and the UN for a while. Secondly, I am also the first among my peers to know about new political candidates because the information that I search for is new. Assume that everything you see on social media is a week old. The MSM reports only what they're told to.
In my country (Canada) we had a black woman run for conservative party leadership. I was the first amongst my black liberal family to find out about it and support her on the basis of her policy. Weeks later my family is telling me about this woman and saying she lost "because conservatives are racist."
Meanwhile, because they're spoon fed their information by MSM and SM outlets who refused to give her any media coverage, they missed out on the chance to support this woman's campaign, and instead of blaming "those racist white conservatives" maybe they should take a minute to realize that the liberals that have the media on their payroll really don't care about black ppl until it suits their agenda.

I'm on a rant now. But anyway. It's not necessary to be "informed" (more like obsessed) with politics every day. Way back when they had weekly newspapers to catch up with all the important and things were fine. They still had great leaders. You dont need to indulge every day in politics.
