The lesson that hours of doomscrolling taught me

Jan 28, 2026 9:17 pm

Good morning, ,


I spent a couple of hours doomscrolling yesterday.


Of course, it was for "research."


The truth: That's kind of true. I became fascinated with what was capturing my attention. And why.


And in every case, I saw an opinion that was presented as if it were a fact.


And in every case, I was presented one side of an argument, and the other side was ignored, distorted, or mocked.


The lessons would take up pages. I'll spare you. BUT, the point:


Who wins when I blindly accept one side of a debate?


Or mabye more importantly, who loses?


Usually, it's the person doing the scrolling.


Doomscrolling feels productive. It gives the illusion of insight without requiring a decision. No action. No momentum. Just scrolling.


That's how I used to approach my career. I read. I watched. I listened. I compared myself to where I thought I "should" be, but nothing changed.


Years later, I was still in the same spot.


Here's the uncomfortable truth: Clarity doesn't come from more information. From taking action, even before you feel ready.


Maybe that's you, too. If you're tired of being pulled in a dozen directions and want to start trusting yourself, find a time on my calendar to talk. No pressure, and no hype. Just a focused discussion to get you out of reaction mode and into action.

P.S. The next step isn't as hard as it seems. Once you peel away some of the distractions, it usually becomes pretty clear. Let's chat: https://zcal.co/kenwilliams/breakthrough
