Yessss

[@tibbarasden]

This is such a great idea. It is amazing how much time we really do spend on our phones. This is a great way to not only step away from the phone, but get a lot more reading done while doing it.

[@alexaraye]

Yes, I agree! Thank you 🥹💖✨🫶🏻

[@hellosnoozie]

This is such a wonderful idea! I do spend a lot of time on my phone too and it's a good way to challenge myself to be more productive lol. Thank you for another video Alexa! I really loved how fun and relaxing your videos are ♡ I agree with the other comment!! I hope you do a video on how you annotate your books~

[@alexaraye]

Thank you so much 🥹🥰

[@brittneyupton4049]

I had an average of 3 minutes a day on my phone for a week, I spent the rest of the week reading, I don’t think I could swap that around…

Archer's Voice killed me!!!!!! and then brought me back to life

I usually spend 15+ hours. i also listen to music and stuff while im sleeping so thats a factor but honestly its still bad. There was one time where it was around 23 hours and 30 minutes

This video made me so aware of my time spend on my phone. I never really knew how much time I wast on social media and such... There have been weeks where I spend almost 35 hours on TikTok or KZbin alone. I think I'll definitely implement this concept in my daily life! ✨🧸

[@tqt1qnq]

Dw babe trust me I had 17 hrs for one of my screen times. I don’t even know how that was possible but I am highly ashamed 😭

Love this video 💚 also this is so random but how often do you get your nails done? I'm obsessed with French tips but am always hesitant to get them done in case they grow quickly and then the white tip is too thin, if you get me? I didn't explain that very well 😅

Thank you!! 🥹 & I hate getting my nails done because I don’t like sitting there for so long 😂 so I got every 3-4 weeks when most people go every 2 weeks!

✌️😀Hi Alexa! 😀✌️ First of all, thanks a lot for this video and I really mean it. It could change many people’s lives. I am new here. I have a question which is the following: Is this something that anyone can do or is this something that only reading lovers (When I write “reading lovers”, I refer to those who like to read just in case) can do?

[@alexaraye]

Anyone can do this! Absolutely 🥰

[@codingarcadio1517]

@@alexaraye I have a little advice to give you that I believe that is very important. If you feel tired from reading, I think that it's also important to do exercise. A way to exercise can be walking or stretching which you can do anywhere. I think that it is another way to take a break and deal with reading exhaustion. Besides, it's not healthy to sit daily for a long period of time because it could lead to numerous health problems.
