First, A reasonable goal. Will attack 2 larger books, my main and bonus reads a month with podcast and then try to go with a few books of a new author. My devotional & bible is morning time for me. Yes, the podcasts are so plentiful on the subject of books. That mostly fills up my time on the oblong. I will need to eject myself from so many. I am not an e-reader, but audible is okay. This article is a good one. Great insight. Thank you.

Years ago, I would read on average a book a week. But that number has dropped over the years due to the “oblong”, and I’ve also recognized this pattern. Books have always been my best friend, and I’ve got a stack pulled from my shelves and ready to go. I’ve also deleted all social media apps from my phone, so I don’t feel the need to check in. I am shifting back into the quiet energy I love--energy that gives me the space to create and to learn. I actually just wrote about that in my last substack post.
