[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]31 so far. I read a lot more last year because it was the year I quit drinking and found that I needed something to distract myself and fill my time. I do count my audiobooks, because my “me time” away from my kids is doing a hike in rock creek park while listening to an audiobook. I always have an audiobook going (usually nonfiction), a kindle library book (usually fiction), and two physical books (one each of fiction and nonfiction). I also like to mix up my fiction reading between lighter and more literary books.

I used to be able to sit and read a book for hours, but I get so distracted now. I think it’s my phone usage - I’m much less able to concentrate for long periods of time. It’s sad - I’m thinking of making my phone a “dumb phone” in the new year to fix my phone habits so I can better settle into a book.[/quote]

I often set my phone on silent and leave it in another room. That takes away the temptation to keep checking it.[/quote]

Thanks this is a great idea - I’ve been thinking my phone needs a “home” in my house. It’s current home is wherever I am, which seems excessive![/quote]
