RE: The 1st Secret to Reading A LOT of Books

in Hive Book Club3 years ago

So true. Back when I used social media apps daily, I noticed that it's so easy to lose track of time. You scroll and scroll and little do you know, you've spent an hour on Facebook. Nowadays, I don't really spend time on social media as I used to and instead spend my time reading, that's why I get to read a lot. We save a lot of time when we don't socmed trap us

Sort:  

I must admit to losing a little bit of time here on Hive. Although, at least I get some reward for it in the form of crypto, so it is not time completely lost.

However, I do thoroughly enjoy time away from all of this. The past weekend, I intentionally left my phone at home while out of town. There's an initial bit of nervousness because I don't have all of my data on hand or a means of contacting people. My solution was to prepare myself with written notes of all of information I would need, phone numbers and addresses; good old fashioned paper and pen.

One of the key things that we have lost with mobile phones, is our ability to plan ahead. We now constantly leave arrangements open ended. This contributes to much of the powerlessness that people are now experiencing under certain conditions in the world.
