Ok, not preaching here... Just sharing something that helped me.
I was "terminally online".
It got me down.
What I found out was that staying well informed doesn't mean keeping up to date with what is happening at this very moment. It means learning all the wonderful things from history.
Well informed means learning, right?
There are so many brilliant things you can learn right now. And they'll all make you a better, more useful, citizen.
Learn how to paint. Learn photography. Learn why the Japanese like squid. Learn cockney rhyming slang. Learn about Egypt's history with gold. Learn it all. That's also staying well informed.
News is such a small part of being human.
Even if you didn't mean to coin an euphemism, I love this new euphemism.
