    An E-reader. There’s no more space in my house for book shelves. I’ve a ton of books stored inappropriately in a bunch of cabinets and on top of furniture, that I hope to find new homes for before irreparable damage is done to their spine.

    Having an e-reader also helped me in the gym. Instead of doomscrolling on lemmy or tiktok, I read between sets. Helped me regain my reading habit and kick my social media habit. Also, helped my social anxiety of having to rest longer than half a minute when other people might want to use the iron I’m using.

      What? You bring your ereader to the gym and read between sets? That’s a new one…

        Don’t knock it! I know it’s weird, but if you need to improve your reading, it really helps.

      This is a great shout. Since I stopped commuting 6yrs ago my reading is almost entirely non existent. Doing it between sets means I can give my brain a workout while the guns get one :D
