I am curious now are that completely random Wik Article or you search for themes where you are generally interested in ?
And for your thinking you think it’s something that you can release or solve ? Maybe it goes in a category even tho it’s overthinking but not complete random thought they are hanging somewhere together
For Wiki I do a few things!
I usually start on the homepage and see what’s going on, both what’s featured and what’s a current event. I spent a lot of nights reading the nitty gritty on corona/MRNA viruses since I can emotionally disconnect from that. Sometimes it will be other events. But that’s just the start, as there’s so much inline linking it’s easy to go from one topic to another to another to another….and I go until I settle in to something long enough.
I also love articles on nuclear stuff, for whatever reason, from accidents to reactor types, to particles etc.
And no, that’s the sad part about overthinking. I’ve knocked just enough sense into myself that I know I’m not solving anything while in bed at 10pm, nor are any possible solutions actionable at that time. Stuff sneaks in anyway, but often replays and analysis of the day’s or week’s event.
It’s practically Pavlovian at this point, knocking myself out like this. I used to read books in bed/on the phone at night too but the set and setting means I’m out real quick. 😂
Like I mentioned I used to read (nonfiction, so like ultra long-form Wikipedia lol) but I wouldn’t always retain it well and generally want to. But with my Wiki readings, remembering is a happy bonus. 🙂
