#80: Why You Should Swap Your Screen Time with Reading Time This October

Listen Later

Not sure about you, but I'm tired of having a black rectangle hinder my progress in life.


Last week, I deleted my personal Instagram account, and this week, I discovered the joy of powering off my phone, ignoring the noise, and turning to the Bible app, my Kindle, and physical books for comfort & entertainment instead.


So I have a challenge for you in this episode.


This Friday, we'll talk about:

  • Realizing that I've been undervaluing my Bible as a form of entertainment
  • Struggling to motivate myself to read even though I want to
  • How not having a phone until 9th grade was incredible for my happiness
  • How reading will make your life simpler & happier
  • How reading improves my depth of thought & creative output
  • Why I love powering off my phone and leaving it in my car
  • Turning to the Bible before self-improvement books or social media
  • My ending challenge for listeners this month


    • Let's do it. (P.S. I've linked my Goodreads below so that you can see what I'm reading—feel free to send me a friend request!)
