Struggling with all-or-nothing mindset (lemm.ee)

I have been trying to take my digital privacy more seriously as of late, but I find myself falling into a cycle of all-or-nothing. I will do a little bit to improve my privacy and then will suddenly feel like I need to go full-on down the rabbit hole. This leads to burnout, and then I'll convince myself that it's all futile and I should just use what's most convenient.

How do you all find a balance that works for you? Or do you just change things constantly?

Thanks. Honestly knowing I'm not the only one is very helpful in a way haha. It's easier not to get hyper focused knowing there's more of us just trying to figure this stuff out.
