More reading: books, magazines, newspapers. Also trying to get more exercise.

Same. I finally got into reading which I've been regretting not doing for years. I've read 5 scifi novels in the last few months and just dipped my toes into the Discworld series with Mort. I've gotten a lot of use out of my kid's library card lately.

Whenever i find myself doom scrolling lemmy like i would reddit, I've gotten in the habit of putting my phone down and reading a chapter of whatever is nearby.

Iโ€™ve been borrowing ebooks from the library, and having one checked out on my phone helps with the doomscrolling.
