If you’re a regular to my channel, you might already know that in 2026, we are not setting goals, we are setting experiments. Because experiments can fail, that’s part of the process, it’s all data we’re collecting. It’s gentle. More information on that can be found in this video if you’re interested, by the way.
Throughout late December and January, I have been experimenting with ‘being my own algorithm’ as a way of improving my digital hygiene. We’ll go into more depth about that in just a sec but essentially - for me - what this has meant is pre-curating a content bank to work through throughout the month and only watching videos from that. Essentially, dodging the infinite scroll trap.
