Anyone else struggles with consuming "self-improvement" material?

I cant consume self improvement material in moderation.

The problem is I get sucked into consuming self-improvement material and thats the only thing I am doing in my free time. I am not taking any actual action. Worse yet I also start spending money on shopping because sometimes these channels reccomend products.

Sometimes I do discover something useful. For example, I recently found a Men's lifestyle youtube channel and the guy was talking about the importance of sunscreen even in cold weather. I never knew that you need sunscreen even if its not sunny. The sunscreen helps protect your skin.

Similarly sometimes I read something about dating ina book and I feel like the explanation helped me a lot. Which results in me adding six more books to my reading queue. I cant just stop with one book. I CANT. Its like an itch I have to scratch.

The problem is that it escalates to a crazy level to the point where I am either just consuming self improvement material or (buying things referred by the self improvement material).

I spent the entire weekend browsing Men's lifestyle, fashion, skincare channels one after the other. Leading to lots of shopping. I did not take action for my actual goals i.e. Going to the gym, Using the dating app, going out more often.

I cant do self improvement in moderation leading to just mental masturbation of self improvement. And I spend all my time doing self improvement and not taking action.
