Why this matters

Why bother?

Reading reduces stress more than music or tea (per UK studies). It also keeps your attention span from being completely destroyed by short-form video.

How often

Daily, even one chapter counts.

Best time: Before bed. Replaces phone scrolling and helps you fall asleep faster.

Pro tip

Keep a physical book on your nightstand. Phone in another room. The friction is the feature.

Common mistake

Starting with War and Peace — pick something fun first.

What happens if you skip
