Mindlessly scrolling through social media tends to eat up a huge chunk of our day, and we could spend this time doing something much more productive—including reading. If you’re looking for a way to replace your time on Instagram and TikTok with some quality time with your favorite book, these useful tips will get you there.
Reading On Your Phone
Nothing feels like holding a book in your hands and flipping through pages, but what if you simply can’t put your phone down? Reading on your phone is always an option, so download a reading app if your phone doesn’t already have one, and open it every time you feel like going to Instagram without a clear purpose in mind.
Have a Book By Your Side
If reading on the phone simply isn’t your thing, make sure to have a book by your side at all times. When you find yourself reaching for your phone on your commute or while waiting up for someone, use that time to read one chapter instead.
Social Media Bed Break
Checking social media before falling asleep is one of the bad habits we should all work on, and books can help you there. Keep the last hour or 30 minutes before bed social media free, and try to set that time aside for some better activities—such as reading.
