could also print them and bring them on outings to free yourself from the shackles of our smartphones ! you get the articles/webpages you want to read without the distractions being on the phone brings
taterhole very real but i think we should all make an effort to escape the digital world whenever possible. but im also saying this while typing on a phone so ill admit im a bit of a hypocrite... mostly just hoping i dont come off as sanctimonious (first time using this fancy word ! but its very fitting for what im trying to say)
too often people are extremists about phone avoidance. theyre not little demon boxes but theyre not the answer to a happy life eithe. its mostly about balance really, if you wanna read on ur phone and spend a lot of time on it thats fine ! the healthy balance point is to not let it become something you depend on. not that i think u do or anything 😛 this is just the type of thing i feel very passionate about and im nothing if not a yapper who expands on conversations unasked hehe
I was about to comment “shouldn’t you use a read-it-later service like Instapaper, Pocket, etc.” but this is actually a better more permanent strategy. You’re freezing that article in time with a “hard copy” and a save to a read later service is subject to the winds of a changing internet.
I do this with the articles I want to read and then sit down a read a bunch all at once! It’s such a vibe.
