Does anyone else get dull feelings of dread reading this kind of thing? How do you combat it?

Try actually doing it, realise how very far the outcome is from what the blog posts describe the vast majority of the time, and get dread from the state of (social) media instead.

No, it still doesn't work. But the only way to realise it is to actually really try using it.
