After introducing practice theory as a lens through which to understand everyday practices, I argue for the need to take the individual as unit of analysis to better understand how practices are organized in a person{\textquoteright}s life. The study is based on qualitative data from 17 US participants, collected through an interview-diary-interview method. I find that some people experience the internet as enabling to their way of life while others find it to be a necessary tool that must itself be managed to maintain a sense agency in the way practices are structured. Others again find it to be enabling in some practices but problematic in others. From this, I conclude that people implement different media strategies to stay in control of the organizing of their constellation of practices.",
