Oh man...that would have to be the digital detox/distraction thing. Using devices too much.
I do follow a LOT of the advice that I give (often do a digital detox on Sundays, use social media very little, have youtube blocked on my main laptop, etc, etc).
But I still end up spending too much time online. It's "better" time, like research, projects. But it's also too much.
My carnivore advice, though - THAT I actually follow, almost 100%.
You know, this made me think of WHY this is - why am I good at following food restrictions, but not so great on digital restrictions.
Here's what I think it is.
With food (with the carnivore diet, anyway), it's VERY clear cut.
Animal origin? Good.
Not animal origin? Bad.
With use of screens/devices, it's nowhere near that clear cut. If I were to cut out my laptop and phone entirely, I couldn't function, couldn't work, couldn't do fun and interesting projects.
It's such a fuzzy line. For instance, take Youtube.
Youtube is critical for a lot of things. But then, it's so easy to go from "must watch youtube for an important project, or to learn how to do x,y,z", to "zzz...got nothing else I must do, so I will anesthetize myself with youtube for hours".
