@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.

@elilla @leomeloxp try treating your phone like it's landline.

i leave my phone at home a lot, cause i don't want phone calls everywhere i go. i miss the days of when, if you couldn't reach someone by phone, then you simply could not talk to them until they return home.

@crashglasshouses @leomeloxp the problem isn't leaving my phone at home, it's where to go to and how do I get there in time that I can have a couple hours of reading after I'm off the clock of my own job.

@elilla @crashglasshouses I'm on a similar boat. I've already have managed to make my weekends mostly mobile free (unless I go somewhere at which point I take my phone because of payments, etc). I even made a reading/journaling corner in my room but the issue is that I usually take my laptop there and use it to catch up on emails, chores not related to my day job, etc...

@elilla @leomeloxp

find a tree nearby. that's your reading tree. not too far from home, but not so close that all of the things can grab your attention away.
