In no way do I want to come off as rude with this comment, but to me what you are saying is not at all different from
"when I was young I used to work out and eat healthy...
a couple of decades later, I just fund it all so exhausting".
Customizing your computer environment is good. Eating healthy is good. None of those need to end up in a "rabbit hole".
Everyone can be tired of life and give up due to exhaustion, but greatness requires discipline. This is also true with the craft and art of programming.
