I've slowed down on my reading. I'm reading a book on Hitler now that I just started but can't motivate myself to actually really start reading it. In the past once I started a book, I would finish it pretty quick. Now It's a chore for me just to start one.

I read most days, unfortunately I used to read a lot more before I found tigerdroppings

I read a lot. I pretty much always have a book going. Before I finish one, I’ll have the next picked out. I almost always stick to history, but on occasion will veer off to a Star Wars novel.
Most nights I’ll read a book in bed for about an hour before laying down and going to sleep.

I read everyday.
I didn’t pick the habit up until my mid 20s before then I’d make fun of people who were a “book worm” . How foolish I was.
To me books are amazing and you can learn a lot from a book. I know today there is YouTube, but there is something about reading print.

I spend most of my time at work reading. In my free time I like to give my eyeballs a rest.

Or on slow days at the office.

Last year I read 22 books.
I've had a busy year and only got 10.5 in. I'll probably finish this last one before the end of the year.
I'm only on my phone though. It's easier to me to lay in bed before I go to sleep and read a bit.
I'll probably set my goal around 20 books next year. I know I have several that were on my want to read list this year that I'll be able to get through in 2026.

I read every night before bed. Usually 9-9:30 I'll start reading. When I get tired, I stop and go to sleep.
I normally don't watch TV before bed unless its an LSU game or something I really want to watch.

All the time. Get a Kindle and you can also use the Kindle app. Instead of doomscrolling or whatever, read.
Same on planes. Read.

Take a book along to doctor appointments. I despise cell phones and the way they are an extension of people's hands nowadays.
The good news is I download books to my phone and my Kindl, so if I'm in a waiting room, my book is right there.

I sure don't read like I used to. I feel guilty for that because it's so much healthier than reading the interweb

I read a couple dozen books a year.
I don’t just “watch TV”, as a general rule. Now, I’ll occasionally stream a show, but it’s an intentional choice to watch a particular show in a particular moment. I never just put the TV on to kill time. I also don’t burn time on “endless scroll” social media. You’d be surprised how much time you’ll find if you start being more intentional about your downtime.

I’ve been too busy refreshing the CC board since October.

Instead if scrolling through a smart phone while on The Throne, I typically average reading 8-10 books a year on my home Throne.

I read every night after some tv. It’s become a ritual where if I’m not in bed reading by 9:45, I feel off.
I went from hardly reading to 56 books this year.

About an hour a night 3 tines a week. Depending on the book but quiet time and keeping the brain clicking are just as important as the gym.
