Settle for Less News

COVID-19 is changing everything. While it is important to be informed and know what you can do to maintain your health, I believe too much news can be harmful to your mental health.

In a world of 24/7 news and multiple sites with varying degrees of reliability, I think it's important to limit what you watch, read, and listen too. Personally I believe that staying home will help flatten the curve/slow the spread of COVID-19, so I'm staying home but I'm not constantly looking for the next news update.

Everything has changed and the routine of going to school or work or both is gone, but we can create new routines. Routines where learning what's new is balanced with doing things that bring us joy.
