I agree with the live each day ethos you mention as it leaves less chance of there being regrets later on; of course, we can only act in the moment commensurate to who and what we are and know at the time...so years later it's possible that regrets will form when looking backwards on years earlier.
I like your logged off strategy. Sure it can be entertaining looking at those videos but there could well be better ways to spend time, as you have clearly discovered. Well done.
