Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retros_x" data-source="post: 9842877" data-attributes="member: 7033171">I read a lot as a child and as a youth and asked myself 2 years ago - why do even 1 book a month seem like a big task? So i changed a few things how I spent my time. The big thing was deleting most social media and time limiting the ones I still want to use. Even enworld gets only 15 minutes per day from me and no minutes on the weekend.The other big thing was getting an ereader. I have it almost always near to me or with me and everytime I would normally scroll on social media or browse randomly the web I just start reading.The funny thing is with these 53 books: it felt like I didn't read so much and I often procrastinated reading. That just shows how much time I actually got by removing social media and phone time. Because I also do play more video games and watch more movies.On another note: I also read printed books much more. The ereader just got me back into the habit and is good for traveling. In my home I often read printed books nowadays.But in the end its all about time prioritizing and removing time waste activities from your day. This might be the only thing I actually envy the youth: Having time to waste. I don't envy them for anything else and I am glad to be now an adult that knows what to want from life, is emotionally stable and has disposable income. But man, the time as a teenager where you just had so much free time and did not really had a big need to prioritize - this is the one thing I kinda miss.</blockquote>
