Gregory's Server@elilla Thanks for this commentary, I've recently been thinking about this, having seen some books that are not available in audio format that I want to read and having listened to 5+ books in the last month (all of which I really enjoyed).
I would love to be able to read again, and more importantly, take notes about the books I'm reading or listening to and this toot was very insightful.
Do you see yourself being to carve out some time where you can do reading again but within your usual surroundings?
@leomeloxp it sounds easy but I'm not being successful in practice, not inside my house anyway.
I have honestly considered booking hostels and traveling without cellphones for "mind rest" times. (I'm slowly getting better at being functional in a city without a cellphone; a useful relisience skill, and also improves my (very online girl) mood in subtle, deep ways). the problem is of course that I can't afford a trip every time I want to read books.
the softer alternative is to leave for a library (or, to have hot drinks, Starbucks) for a few hours; but do to the way office times work in Germany, I get no hours after work, and I am usually too inert to leave home anyway. dunno I don't know how to do this.
