Holding a book in your hands and slowing down to read offers an antidote to digital overload.” ReadingReadDigital AgeReading HabitsQuiet Time Book:The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better Source: The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better
“Remember that you are never wasting time while you read. It’s not always about the content or material you read. The simple act of reading, no matter what you read, focuses your attention and is valuable in and of itself.” ReadingReading BooksReading Habits Book:The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better Source: The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better
“Just a short time ago, reading a book was a part of our natural rhythm, an inclination to find the quiet within the chaos. When we had a few minutes to spare, we often turned to a book. In fact, we yearn for this core sense of peace because we viscerally recognize it. And we have the freedom to claim it, to lean into the quiet and pick up a book. To claim this—to slow down and settle in with a story—this becomes a radical act of self-care. Reading is self-care. As human beings living in a digital age, time-starved and rushing around, printed books are reminders of the time we once had, the time we want to have, and the time we hope to have. Printed books quell the chaos. Printed books make us feel comfortable and make us feel like everything is going to be OK.” ReadingReading BooksReading Quotes Author:Thatcher Wine
