Reading is good for you because it improves your focus, memory, empathy, and communication skills. It can reduce stress, improve your mental health, and help you live longer.

Social Media distraction is real. I can loose like 30 minutes to Instagram and Tik Tok if i'm not careful. With Twitter its a bit different because I am part of tech Twitter so the content is related to programming.
And with YouTube well usually I let it play music in the background so its fine.
