I decide consciously what would be right for me.
Those decisions need to be realistic.
Example: I want to do a lot of sport in my spare time, so I can only play a little music and read almost no books. I'm fine with that.
Then I check which emotions come up when doing or not doing something, or when consuming media and information. I think about what those emotions do for me, if they help me on the way I chose to go or not.
Example: Somedays getting up and reading the news or HN makes me a bit miserable, so I close the tab and look at the table doing nothing instead to get back in my good mood.
I try to counter and unlearn emotions which I don't consider useful, and reinforce others. That works best by forming routines.
Those routines need to updated, some more often, some not.
There is no formula that fits everyone.
