I want to stay up to date, really. But trying to keep on top of everything just seems to stress me out more than anything. Anyone else feel overwhelmed? How do you stay on top of what's going on?
Yeah I tried to follow the news, but it just got to be too much for me. Nowadays, I just casually browse for a few minutes at a time. It makes life much easier for me.
at the current state, there's no point. if there's something you want to keep up on exclusively then just look at that/those for the time being. most things in the news are going to be about covid-19 and a lot it absurd, mainly for fear mongering people that can't think for themselves very well.
news is depressing and full of headlines ment to catch your attention than speak almost nothing about subject usually i just read headlines on most and avoid rest
For the past month, there is only 1 topic on every news/media channel, which is coronvirus. But I dont mind since i am actually interested in how this pandemic will evolve. About everything else, i have a few news site i usually visit to read about topic i am interested in, like gaming, tech, anime, etc.. I usually don't go out of my way to try to be up-to-date on everything. We don't have to.
the news definitely makes things sound a lot worse than it is since bad news is always sensationalized but i think just looking at the history of pandemics and seeing how people got through it in the past helps
Most definitely, which is why I have just stopped looking at the new for now. They seem to be milking every little piece of info regarding COVID-19, even if it has 0 impact on anything. I only try to catch big announcements made by my own government, or ask if there's anything big going on. If it's really that bad, you'll eventually catch wind of it.
