do you have a bunch of tabs open for articles you’re planning to read? how about a stack of proverbial New Yorker’s guilting you for not having read them yet? my advice, just read the article.
i had the Calvin Tomkins profile of Thelma Golden on my “to read” list for 11 months before i finally sat down to read it. it plagued me, the guilt of knowing i would deeply enjoy reading it and also the not knowing if or when i would carve out the time to read it. turns out, it was as good as i expected; gratifying and inspirational.
Bonus rec: if you don’t read the article it’s also okay to close all those tabs and toss those old New Yorkers. you’re the boss, applesauce.
Double bonus rec: make PDFs of the “to read” articles and then treat them like they’re assigned reading on a very cool syllabus you made for yourself. I got through a stack of articles on a recent flight that had once been tabs cluttering my browser!

i also have this problem. kyle pure wrote a really good essay abt it on substack and even though i can’t see the paid part the intro is enough. but i’ve tried replacing some of my screen time w reading lately. i feel better at the end of a reading sesh than i do when i just scroll on tik tok.
