Recently deleted Instagram, Reddit and disabled YouTube shorts. I now noticed how much I miss doing something โ€” like when sitting in the train or during breaks at work.

So what do you do with your idle time? Any suggestions?

I read a lot of books.

And by reading, half is a actual book. The other half is a audiobook while doing chores, working out, or general crafting.

I can honestly say reading non-fiction books about various subjects helped me a lot in life. From social issues and self-help, to finances, to dating. I grew up poor in a pretty rough environment, and climbed out of it because of reading.
