Hello, I'm Chelsea Peretti. Do you feel chronic existential dread but love talking about delicious snacks? Call me! My podcast is relaunching!

Do you fear wild dangerous animals to the point where you're constantly watching attack videos and reading articles

about wild animal attack survivors or those who succumb to attack, call in!

We can also discuss reality shows and emergency room footage.

Listen to call Chelsea Perretti on Will Farrell's Big Money Players Network on the I Heart

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast. Today's tip is to maintain a list of online content

you'd like to enjoy. Because especially in these anxious times,

we can all benefit from less clickbait and more curation in our

electronic reading and viewing. When you need a brain break it can be fun to

read an article or look at other content online, but it's easy to get lost

in the black hole of mindless scrolling. You start by reading an article that interests you,

and then you follow one link after another.

Much time can pass before you realize that you didn't plan to spend your whole morning, looking

at running skorts, or catching up on every detail of the British Royal Family's life.

These days in particular you are definitely not planning to

wallow in the details of how many face masks a hospital in rural Kansas

has, the sort of thing that's scary, but that you personally can do nothing about.

Yet somehow, that's exactly what you've been doing.

So how do we avoid taking the clickbate?
