I know this is hypocritical coming from someone who is on 4chan, but its a fact that mindless scroolling and browsing the internet, whether that be 4chan, social media or youtube or whatever, has a chance to permanently decrease brain function and cognitive ability. The way to reclaim that lost brain function is to train in thinking and concentrating on a specific topic without distraction for an extended period of time; or in other words, training yourself to do deep work. Pic related is a very important book from a young MIT professor in theoretical CS (who incidentally has a successful writing career) about the importance of cultivating the ability to do deep work. This is an extremely important point, if you live life perpetually distracted, then it doesn't matter how many days you go without tugging your meat or how many times you microdose on drugs or whatever, you will not make it.
