If college was marketed as on the job training instead of some romanticized version of you going out into the world and making a difference, I could see the culture changing. Just listen to the graduation speeches that are 10 plus minutes long, it's very discouraging at times because no one will ever live up to Steve Jobs, Ophrah Winfrey, Chadwick Boseman, Barack Obama etc. We drive this stuff into high school kids, and they come out of college disappointed with a lot of debt. It's an outdated model, that needs to be changed. College can't be prestigious anymore when it's expensive AF.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2017 2.3 GHZ, and I am considering an upgrade. Is it worth it?

It's wishful thinking to believe any of this works. When you get older, have bills to pay, have to work, you have to give something up. Those morning runs, playing warcraft, taking your kids to school, spending time with your wife in the evening. Something has to give, and for how long is the question.

I like your solutions.

I do think having your phone in another room helps tremendously. I fight every morning to not take my phone into the bathroom for my morning ritual and waste 15-20 minutes of dooms scrolling.
