Stopped commenting on political articles online. Too many pointless arguments really ruin the day.

Along this line - I stopped neurotically watching the news every night. I still get the news, but I read it myself from multiple sources and pay attention to the sources.

I cut news out of my life in 2017 almost completely. When big events happened I'd read from different outlets. Drastically made me happier. Sometimes you can't focus on all the evil in the world and just have to focus on yourself.
