You may be shocked--shocked!--to hear this, but "learned in school that is not relevant to my daily life" and "consume mindless drivel" are just two sides of the same coin. The common element is that you know this shit doesn't matter, but feel a compulsion for it anyway. Your brain is probably tired rather than dulled down.

The Internet is one of the best tools for falling into that, but is also one of the best tools for climbing out of that. It's not necessarily the abyss' fault that it was dug.

If you perceive a problem here, perhaps you need to make more concrete decisions about what actually matters to you, and maybe that will clear things up enough to make progress. If it's not enough, well, at least you're not alone; self-help/productivity products is a multi-billion dollar industry with a notorious track record of not really working. I have my recommendations, though....
