These are all really good tips but I especially liked the “read who you are interested in” one. I see a lot of people forcing themselves to read something they aren’t genuinely interested and even I have done this, learning to read what you really want makes it more enticing to pick up a book.
Love your suggestions, Nicole, especially limiting screen time. I started listening to audiobooks in February along with reading the book physically. This helped me immensely when I was traveling back and forth to my parents’ house to help care for my mom. Now, I generally listen to them while driving or doing chores. With that being said, I can only listen to certain genres. 😊
Great advice! I highly encourage everyone to take a step back and jot down a high-level overview of what they do throughout the week. Once you do this, you'll quickly identify where your time is slipping away. When I tried this exercise, I uncovered an extra 3-4 hours each day that I could use however I wanted
Your advice about limiting screen time of all kinds (tv and internet) is timely and important. There's a book called Digital Minimalism that's worth reading, especially if to want to change your relationship with social media.
@@FacelessBookReviews my best advice is putting your phone in an area that you need to physically go get it. It’s such a (not negative) disruption that you’ll second guess yourself unless you getting an actual phone call or something to that effect.
Good suggestions. I am trying to reduce my screen time. I will watch that documentary. I don't re-read too many books. Each re-read is a new book I don't read. I seldom watch movies more than once for the same reason
Opinions vary about the value of rereading. I've heard someone say that you haven't really read a book until you've read it at least twice. Not every book is worth a reread, though.
@@LiterateTexan oooh, I haven’t heard that before. I have only reread about a dozen books and that’s when I was a kid who couldn’t buy more books and had no library.
@NicolesBookishNook I reread The Great Gatsby every year. I'm at an age now, too, where I'm revisiting a lot of the books I loved when I was younger. Dice I've changed so much, my experience with these books has changed, too. I loved The Catcher in the Rye when I was a young man, but now... not so much.
@@LiterateTexan ahh yes, I read The Catcher in the Rye a few years ago as an adult and hated it, haha! That's honestly when I realized I shouldn't go back and reread books because there's a chance, as an adult, I wouldn't like it and that makes me depressed.
thanks to this video i will endeavor to read an actual 4 hrs a day tuesday through next monday i can read 60-100 an hour, so this should boost big time
I wish I could do ebooks for pricing issues, but I'd read less if I did. I hate them. I lovingly disagree with the rereading idea. I don't think I've reread any book 10 times since I was a child, but if that's what people prefer to read, it's still just as much reading 😊
@@nymunfashionablepoetry I get it! That’s why I added the rereading at the end and said you can try it out if you want to read other books instead of the usual ones to reread. Though it still counts as reading!
@NicolesBookishNook after I wrote that I was like "oh wait, you were talking about reading more so that also probably meant reading more books, not just making more time" 🤣🤗
Thanks Nicole, some really good advice here...We don't have a tv here so instead of watching things we read books and then chat about what we're reading... not having a tv to some is a little hardcore but it has really helped our quality of life and silence and quiet is a blessing too... also audiobooks took me a lot to get used to but now I really enjoy them and they have helped me a million to read more... thanks for some great tips, helps a lot! Happy reading!! 😃📗

@@intotheheartwyld yes, for sure! 💙
Agreed! So many people seem to read what they think they should read rather than what they want to read

@@LiterateTexan I’ve never heard of that book before but that is a great recommendation!
Really good ideas here Nicole! The Social Dilemma is a great, and frightening, documentary lol.
It definitely is!
I've been focusing on getting off my phone in general so some of these were really good advice... read what you like is huge too. Enjoyed this video.💙

Solid advice, screen time is a killer for reading productivity.
@@Patrick.__ been there, done that… oops 😬
@@NicolesBookishNook Same here as you know. Midjourney was great for my productivity when I got that last year. 😆
So many great tips here! I would absolutely benefit from doom scrolling less. 😅 Thank you, Nicole!
you're so welcome!

My same thought for books and movies! Though I have a few dozens or so movies I can rewatch and it still gets. Mainly Disney movies, lol.
I definitely need to get better at doom scrolling 😅
@@krisreviews ooooh, the doom…

@@thegkbc4510 very nice!
I have definitely read books because it is what everyone else is reading. And I learned my lessons 😅
Audiobook ADHD person here 😂😂

Limiting screen time is a biggie. The doom scrolling struggle is real.
@@literarylove123 I understand! 💙💙💙
More than three hours? Couldn’t be me with 7h 13m 😅
