We live in an age when many people spend their valuable free time endlessly scrolling through social media, but you can break this habit. If you’re looking for a way to trade the feed for fiction and make reading a daily ritual instead of social media scrolling, here are three useful tips that will get you there.
Reading App
If you don’t have a reading app on your phone, it’s time to install one and put your time on the phone to some good use. Every time you catch yourself opening Instagram or TikTok for no reason, take a pause and consider spending the time on your phone exploring the books in your reading app.
Physical Copies
Reading on the phone or Kindle isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s not the only option. Having a physical copy by your side also comes in handy, so make sure to always have a book in your bag that you can reach for when you’re trying to kill some time.
Late Night Habits
If your schedule is pretty packed, you’ll most likely only find time to read before going to bed. To avoid being tempted to scroll through social media instead, consider taking a phone break about an hour before going to bed.
