It's been a long span of time of about 10 years i'm trying to explore the nitty gritty of the Internet and in the whole process of my exploration i have made so many inferences about this aspect of Information Technology(IT).
IT makes possible to facilitate the information by acting as the network of information pools (Servers,websites,etc) with which it possible for information to reach most of the corners of the world .
So now question arises what are my inferences and how you can make use of them in your day to day life to benifit yourself as an active resident of this Network.
So let's familiarise ourself with what this whole thing is, which i'm talking about and what it means to say that you can be calm in your life by your habits on Internet i.e Your Browsing History.
I'm using this word to not only refer to your actual Chrome and Safari but also to your complete activities on the Internet.
Believe me the whole instinct of Internet is just the information travel.
Now what Information is, If i ask you about it, your direct response might be that it is the collection of facts and figures, yes i agree.
2nd question How it is useful to us, you will say , it makes us aware about something the way that thing is.
Here comes one new question, How it impacts us?
Let's discuss the impact of information:
You will surely agree with me that whatever action we take we first process some information in our brain to just even start perfomring that action right...
So We can Say that Information drives our journey to take action.
Now whatever action you take ranges from beating someone to doing your daily essentials and that depends on the information you had processed in your brain as we said earlier right.
Now your action is right or wrong also depends on the information only.
So here comes the question to the credibility of the information if it is right then your action is right and if it not then it only depends on your common sense to identify if information was right or not othewise you might take the action which may have a long term negative impact on your life which will only go away with some significant amount of time.
So is there any way to just be right always in processing information.
BECAUSE INFORMATION SHAPES OUR ACTIONS,PERSPECTIVES,OVERALL PERSONALITY.
A GENERAL ANSWER MIGHT BE A BIG NO...
But we can understand the journey of information reaching our brain leading to our actions.
SO LETS DISSECT OUR LIFESTYLE OF 21st CENTURY
Nowadays the information is consumed mostly through Internet.
Now Internet Resource places are much advanced with their AI algorithms and in this era the information reaches you not the otherway around in which you have to go to information because this is the only business of IT as i had already said it's just information travel.
So ultimate crux is to say that IT companies try to understand our behaviours and facilitate the information to us by various methodology.
SO THINK FOR INSTANCE THAT WE ARE CONSUMING INFORMATION AS OUR MEAL NOT BY OUR CHOICE BUT BY OTHERS CHOICE SO WE ARE ALSO GETTING FRAMED THROUGH OUR ACTIONS,PERSPECTIVES AS PER THE CHOICE OF OTHERSSO HOW WE CAN BE THE REAL OURSELF AND LIVE OUR LIFE MORE PEACEFULLY:
This is the agenda of today.
So first of all i'm not against any company or even the internet but i'm telling you about how you effectively can be the active consumer of information and that too the right way.
NOW HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT I MYSELF FOLLOW FROM THE TIME I REALISED THIS FACT:
1.Self Introspection:

After every content that i consume anywhere not only on internet,I ask myself that what i have learnt from it and how it can be helpful for shaping me and some other questions too by which i align the information that i have consumed with my ethics and pre consumed facts and then finally i write them on a Notebook or if it is not possible at some time to write it on notebook then i write on digital notepad applications like...GOOGLE KEEP, EVERNOTE,etc.
The ultimate purpose of this idea is to just effectively remember the things we have learnt and also to prevent unecessary scrolling on the internet...
Because as it is said that learning a single thing with perfection is worth than learning 1000 things.
2.)PLAY WITH ALGORITHM AND SAVE YOUR TIME:

How many google accounts do you have?
Well whatever may be the number, i just want you to grasp this analogy by which we can play with algorithms.
Lets say you are using Youtube to research about Newton Laws and you are pretty well consuming some great tutorials and suddenly you saw a new song released by your favourite singer and you was unable to resist to listen to it and you end up listening to it and skipping your Newtons laws tutorials and you know what happens suddenly the loop of doing or consuming some other content like watching some more entertainment content gets formed and after 1 or 2 hr you realise that you have wasted so much time and this game was played by Youtube by its algorithm to show you what you might like so to avoid this i have a solution for you and by this algorithm will work in your favour of you. Do you know why Youtube know that you might like that song is because you have been listening to similar tracks of songs of that singer from a good amount of time and this saved in your history and then youtube shown you the new video in the recommended section.
But how will it sound if i would say that not only you will save your time from doing random things but even you even can save your time by getting good content recommendations related to your Newton laws to catalyse your effective learning process.
SO IT'S VERY SIMPLE:
Dedicate different google account for different purposes.
You can create different accounts and use every account for some dedicated purpose for e.g If you are student then create one account for your study purpose which you will use only for study purpose and other account by which you will only consume entertainment content.
So whenever you will need to study as per your schedule you can switch your Youtube account with the account you have created for the study purpose and simlarly you can change account for entertainment purpose.
PRO TIP:
If by any mistake you watched your song video by your study account then don't worry you can delete the history of the video so in future a recommendation will not come in that account otherwise if you don't delete it then you will be drifted next time while study...
The ultimate benifit that you will get by organising accounts and following strict rules of writing and self introspection is that the alogrithm will also work in your favour by providing good educational content and the entertainment too.
3.)How to follow these 2 rules effectively:
PRACTICE MEDITATION TECHNIQUES:

Believe me techniques like mindfulness (a form of meditation) deserves more respect and it is just ineffable(can't be described in words).
Just devote 5-10 mins of your daily morning and believe you will feel lighter and more organised and i'm not just saying this because i don't want you to do it but in fact i want you to accept the fact that until it is not experienced by doing it you will only experience the execution phobia (not able to start doing things) by different myths and facts related to it.
4.)CHANGE YOUR SOURCE:
Read Books:
Book Reading is the another form of meditation and one thing that i personally love about books is that they don't force you think only in the specific way rather they open the doors to multiple possibilities and make you calm and patient and you can connect with the author at your own convinient pace.
