I have this issue too. I have a few people in my life who pay attention to the news, I just ask them to inform me when something big happens, or I ask for updates if it’s been a week or two. I check out those specific topics then move on. I realized it didn’t serve me to stay very informed, so I just want the bare minimum.
I go through phases. I was glued to the news at the start of the Israel-Hamas war, then it became too much and I had to back off. I’ll be back at it again at the height of the 2024 US election so I can make informed voting decisions, then I’m done again until the next major thing.
