How do you handle the urge to check the news constantly?

Headlines refresh faster than they matter, and the constant checking is anxiety wearing a diligence costume. The scheduled news beats the streamed news, and the calendar knows the schedule.

What's your practice?

• how often you check the news now
• the schedule that replaced the constant checking
• what you do when a real headline hits

The calendar is the cure: it tells you when checking is actually warranted.
