I have around 15 books in my room which I have maybe read 5 pages from a few and the rest are untouched. I put in my goals that I have to read a chapter or at least 10 pages of a book every morning. I’m setting the bar small so that’s the minimum, but I’ll likely read more since I do like reading. Is dune good though 👀 What your parents did is so beneficial in the long run! I also realized that time limits on the phone don’t work for me. #1 Busying myself and setting a schedule really made me get off my phone. #2 Scrolling MINDFULLY. Before I got on KZbin, literally yesterday when I was scrolling through your channel, I asked myself “okay, what do I want to watch from KZbin now and what do I want to get out of it?” That way I set my purpose for why I opened the app, and I didn’t continue scrolling getting hits of dopamine while not knowing what I really wanted anyway. Being mindful is honestly the best way I unscrewed my life. It’s a bit difficult in the first few days but it’s so rewarding.

for me, i dont like setting certain number goals, such as reading 10 pages or meditate for 4:30 minutes daily. If i set daily number goals, it feels like a chore rather than a hobby/habit (majority of people make this mistake). I think showing up everyday is the most important part on staying consistent, wether you read 1 line or a whole book, atleast you showed up. I know you didnt need to know my thoughts but might as well share it haha

[@user-td6ou1ru7b]

Dude, I'm in the process of reading Dune right now and it's great. It's definitely slow paced but I'm ok with that.

[@user-yr8xh3ld5u]

I don’t watch TikTok, I quit it a few years ago cause the fandom and community was pretty toxic. I realized this pretty fast so I kept watching KZbin. And when my friends talk about TikTok and I go “oh I don’t watch TikTok” they always go “Yeah but you watch KZbin shorts, you’re a shorts kid”. But I don’t, if I do I only watch the video I clicked onto and refrain from scrolling. And I think the reason my friends think this way is cause they don’t understand what joy I get from watching long formed content. I’m glad I caught myself before falling.

[@morithepanda5236]

"But just 1 year with tiktok was enough for me to not be able to read books" hit me hard.. I used tiktok 2 years and my parents really worked on my attention span too (then did the first read the books then watch the movies, etc.) And I can't get back on reading books now... I deleted Tiktok a few months ago and its aspect is still on me now I cant stop scrolling around KZbin... I hope one day my attention span will go back to normal.. Thx, jspark for the vid, I'm a new sub and your content really helps me...

[@BORO-SHIKI23]

j you rocked in the mom scene

[@Lalactuu]

I remember how I used to love reading in primary school, when I found books more fun then watching KZbin videos. Of course, my parents encouraged this but over time I became more and more critical about them. I was never interested in movies, especially live action ones cause my little, child brain couldn’t handle them without getting nightmares. Somehow I also started seeing people who watched movies before books and looked down on them? I was quite silly and was probably trying to help my non existent self esteem. But after this video I’m kinda thankful for reading the amount of books I did when I was younger and I regret how i don’t anymore. Like I only just finished a book I started 2 years ago two weeks ago cause I keep making the excuse “oh i don’t I have time to read, I have to study and practise instrument and do sport etc.” Super helpful video! Keep at it

[@Netherite0_0]

If you don't make time to read, you won't as much because you are tired or studying. I used to read a lot as well!

[@tavishiranjan1402]

Ok but little j was so cute 😭😭😭😭

[@haunted7937]

Ngl this reminds me of when I was in middleschool I used to read all the time because i wasn’t allowed to use my phone in school and I didn’t want to talk to people. And now I definitely read less compared to then.

[@zukostudyblr]

Broo...I resonate with you so much...this exact thing happened to me as well...and my parents also gave me a wake up call so then I started reading and spending time on stuff that is actually useful to me.

[@avani_TvT]

[@ThoughtsLeftUnspoken]

Highly recommend classic books as a start. Read a chapter (or the whole book if you are a real one), write any words you don't get, find their definitions, write them down, and read the chapter once or twice while glancing at the words you defined so you can understand it.

[@syeaahhhh]

I remember my child self as a chikd thats only reading. I learned reading at the age of 5 because there was a pink book in our house and i wanted to read it. So after that, i read a lot that my mom started to take my books away. She was getting angry when i read so i was reading under the blanket with a flashlight or i'd secretly take one with me to the toilet. Until the 8th grade, it was like this. I had to stop reading cuz of the high school entrance exam and until the student 60 challenge started, i didnt read. I even had a phase where i watched reels for 8 hours a day. Now that i got rid of instagram, i feel healed. And guys believe me, its not that hard to just delete the app. Just try it.

Oh my god I thought I was the only one who had the same story for Harry potter 😭 and same, my parents made me read books ever since childhood, thanks to that habit I still enjoy reading the most

[@chr0nicallyTired]

This is so real but instead my dad would let me watch the movie before the book if i wanted, but then i would have to read the entire series for even the books that weren't filmed/animated yet, and i would have to take full responsibility for it. either buy the books myself, borrow from a friend of library, and until i finished the series i wouldnt be allowed to watch another movie. Now i'm 15 and quite literally half of my room is filled with books, mangas, notebooks, etc.

[@umaimaimran1275]

My childhood was the same except i never really watched the movies as i was never interested I didn’t even read comic books heck I didn’t know what they were i am pretty sure I read around a thousand books but when covid came I couldn’t find any interesting books and I didn’t even have a phone or insta i only had KZbin to watch on my ipad which I watched secretly but it was blocked i just couldn’t find books interesting anymore i got a phone few months ago tho i had been using insta on my ipad but I feel like my attention span has reduced tho i started getting better results from before imma try cutting everything off for a while

[@Angelsntreal]

watching this instead of studying.. at least I'm being somewhat productive?? also I LOOOVE reading, I've got a bookshelf with over 150 books in it (which I've all read), and pretty much the only thing I want for my bday and what I spend all my money on is books :) and I deleted all social media on my phone and only use youtube and pinterest on my laptop a few weeks ago
