I used to read a lot less, now I'm reading way more, and I'm using Reading as a way to tone down reddit/youtube/doomscrolling time. This is helping me restore my attention and focus, which I kinda had lost during the last few years. I am now more productive at work because of that.

Unfortunately I buy more books than I can read, and this gives me anxiety. I think it will probably take me at least 3 years to finish everything I have now. Anyway, youtube watching is down and I don't spend as much time doomscrolling reddit, so that's good.

By the way, I read hundreds of books per year, but that's because I have small kids and read to them every night. I'm extremely grateful to the fact that there's an amazing public library in my city.
