A wonderful tactic to reduce your screentime as well as getting more reading done is to replace your phone with a book at bedtime. The next time you retire for the day, keep your phone in another room and take a book or an e-reader instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way, you get some reading done before going to sleep and make sure that the time you would have otherwise spent mindlessly scrolling through social media is doing something productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another benefit of going to sleep with a book by your side is that you won\u2019t have your phone at your bedside to check your notifications when you wake up the next day. Instead, you can pick up your book and start reading from where you last left the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading before starting your day is a great way to fill your mind with positivity and buzzing your consciousness with ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practicing mindfulness while eating is great, but an effective way to get more reading done is to keep your e-reader propper up in front of you while having a meal. While this isn\u2019t a great strategy if you share your mealtimes with family or friends, but can be a great way to dispel the loneliness and get the most out of your meal times if you live alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d have suggested keeping a book open while you eat, but turning the pages is hard with one hand, especially if you’re reading a paperback. And thus, having an e-reader solved the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re occupied in tasks that don\u2019t demand much mental space and energy, listen to an audiobook. This is a brilliant idea to make sure your mood stays upbeat while completing a chore you hate while also getting some reading done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel audiobooks aren\u2019t your thing, many audiobook services provide a free 30-day trial. You can create an account, sign up for a free trial, and start listening to your favorite books today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An in-person book club is a great way to read more books. However, if our city is in lockdown or you\u2019re unable to step out of the house for whatever reasons, you can join an online book club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most book clubs have a simple agenda\u200a\u2014\u200athey assign a specific book each month and have timely discussions based on various chapters and characters. This is a great way to reiterate what you\u2019ve learned while at the same time finding other book lovers to befriend and bond with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
