swapping my phone screen time for reading time | reading vlog

[@beckyjo2914]

I wish there was a version of this challenge that was like “switching the time I spent meeting everyone else’s expectations, instead of my own, with reading!”

[@oliviareadsalatte]

okay but wait….. 👀

[@khaleesi30]

@@oliviareadsalatte, I love the idea of swapping screen-time to reading-time. I'm going to combine all of my time from all of my devices and see if I can get back into my love of books and reading. Though I must say, my book collection is much much smaller than yours, lol. I'm trying to read the titles of all your books and I can't stay focused on one shelf; all of this to say I love your huge book collection, your channel is amazing and you got me excited to read again. Thank you for posting these amazing videos.💖

[@michellemp1626]

That would be a great challenge!!!

[@melissakrimmel1384]

thissssss

[@BookJedi84]

Idk why but when a booktuber involves their pets it helps me mentally calm down. Thank you for putting your pets in. They look so cute just chilling

[@Jasminesallbooked]

I would definitely love to see you do this again! I am tempted to try it for myself. 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you, and you should!!

[@jennawar13]

Yes to doing this type of video again! It’s kind of like a readathon 💫

[@mariegarner8770]

Yay top 51 and top 27 likes and comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Happy holidays!!!!!

[@steviemariewolf]

Girl YES, do these as often as you’d like. This motivated me to try the same thing ::as I stare at my tall TBR stack:: …thank you.❤️🍂🍁

[@devsea]

loved this, you even had me looking at my screen time, thinking of all the reading i missed out on by doom scrolling

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i do so much doom scrolling 🤧

[@motenema]

I loved this idea. I would love to see you do another, or the 24 hour one, but I am so happy you said you wouldn’t sacrifice sleep for it. Always prioritize sleep!

[@ellietury6269]

Such a fun idea and a good tool for those sad days. Would love to see another video where you do it again!🍂

[@chrisisbookinit]

This video made me go check my screen time on my phone and it was like “your daily average is 10 and a half hours! You’re down 20% from last week!” 😅

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Mine is up there too but I use my phone to make calls, text, emails, pay bills, online shopping like groceries, read sometimes, watch "tv" on my phone instead of my actual TV.

[@melissarackley4048]

Wait I’m so motivated and also feeling a little called out 🙈 Please do more of this because 10/10 🍁

[@bettapaiano]

I had tried doing this and gave up but this video is making me want to try again, would love to see you do another one like this!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

you should!!

[@nadergeeugene]

🍂 autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

[@RachelCatherine]

Would absolutely love to see a part 2 to this 👏🏼 I definitely need to try this!!

[@stef8771]

🍁 I’m here for this chaotic energy 😂

[@crystaldanker8031]

Yes please! More of these!!

[@eliseelliot]

My screentime isn't TOO terrible, 3 hours a day, but I definitely downloaded the Forest app so that I can help cut that back further! I'm excited to give it a whirl!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

omg i’m so jealous, this is goals!

[@danamonsees-cns]

Yess would love another one of these!! 🍁

[@Thereaderlucy]

Definitely do it again, I love these videos

[@melissakrimmel1384]

I would love to see you do this again! I love this vid 🍂

[@billiep1603]

I love vlogs like this they motivate me to read more (I’ve slowed down significantly these past few months)

[@tanyaembly7630]

I would love to see more of this. I am going to try this

[@Feralcat649]

Please please do another one of these!

[@katebethanreads]

I loved this. Even if you just dedicated 5 hours a day for a week I think you could still read just as much. And love StoryGraph for the stats. 🍁🍂

[@carolinemeehan9356]

I love the video. Please make another.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!!

[@bronwynsmith3225]

Love the video I'm doing this because I have a lot in my TBR trolley cart 📚 (28) ya let's see how many books 📚 I get through myself great idea

[@cmad13]

Yes! I would love to see this again!!

[@nataliafox8652]

I was literally searching for videos like this and then you upload - you read my mind!

[@amandac8449]

I will definitely try doing this! 🍁🍂🍁

[@ReadingNymph]

Loved this! I do find reading really helps with my mental health, having a good balance is hard but those times when you get it is gold 👌🏻 🍂

[@_marybeth]

I love this idea!

[@beckylewis6793]

I would totally watch this type of vlog again!! 🍁🍁🍁

[@heiditheowl2277]

These are some of my favorite videos! You should definitely do this again!

[@icedcoffeeandbookss]

Yes do it again!

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Definitely interested in another video like this :)

[@melissalynn117]

Loved this video! And I hope you make another one in the future. And I searched for the forest app to try out for myself 🍁🌲🍁

[@anniedeesaltee]

So into this! Definitely want more of these. Inspires me to read so much!

[@myneverendings]

Omg yes! This looks like fun! And I want to do it also! Def do it again! It was fun and inspiring to watch! 😊❤

[@pandareads]

always yes please to more videos ❤

[@AmethystMtzE]

I’d love to see this as a series for sure!!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

ohhhhh, this as a reoccurring series would be perfect 🫢

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo I really love the butterfly ring!!! So cute!

[@pink16ful]

Yes please do this again!

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Love this video idea. Also on another video, maybe your last one, you mentioned going to the bookstores and doing videos on new release books and I would absolutely love that because I'm not able to go out very much and it's harder to track them online for some reason. It's just easy and satisfying to see the display at Barnes & Noble of the new books so I'd really love that if you decide to do it.

I need to try doing this! Having a desk job, I spend way too much time in front my screen and I'm sure some of this time could be dedicated to reading

[@rosevictorysnnow5165]

🍂🍁🍂🍁This was a lovely little vlog, and a challenge that I would love to see more of and maybe even do myself, my tbr is getting a little crazy

[@kburkett1231]

always interested in your content. if you need to make another one of these, i will absolutely watch

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh thank you!!

[@nicolealcorn8908]

Really enjoyed this vlog! Honestly I really need to try this. I would also love to see another vlog like this. 🍁🍂

[@viktoriapetrova03]

i'd definitely watch another one of these!!

[@laurakaat252]

I really liked this, yes to more as you like. 😊

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you! 💛

[@alishareadsbooks]

Loved this! ❤❤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!!

[@makenziehofacker8378]

this is such a fun idea!!! i kinda want to do this over thanksgiving break 🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog the most I can read in a day is 40 pages before the reading headache happens 📚☕🍂🍁🍂🎃

[@Tarasreadingnook]

Definitely good idea

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Would love to see another video, I've been wanting to try this channel but I film on my phone so I have no clue how that would work...

[@brandim1230]

I enjoyed this video. Great job finishing up all those books.🍁🍂

[@JuSchwinn]

I really like this type of video!! It motivates to read more and also feels really satisfying to see you read so much. And you also look pretty happy with the results of the experiment! I would really love to see it more. Keep up with the good work! ☺️🍂🍁

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Hey Olivia! Tammy here. I enjoyed this video and I will try out the forest app for focusing. Nice job!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!! 📖💛

[@dianeboudrias5231]

Good job Olivia keep up the good work! :)

[@samteske2752]

I loved this!! I definitely think you should try it again, and I’m thinking about doing it myself 🫣

[@sb3626]

This was so fun! I definitely want to do this!

[@allier1940]

Loved the video! 🍂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!!

[@SugarHigh123]

I used to be addicted to my phone (social media, news, ext…) then I found my love for reading during the pandemic. Being on my phone and seeing all the shit going on and going down a rabbit hole with it wasn’t good for my health. I’m hardly on my phone now unless I absolutely need to be and read almost all day. Luckily I have a job that is so chill that I have all the time in the world to read and even read at home. I don’t even watch TV anymore. Honestly putting down the technology has given me such a clear headspace.

[@alissabiles1119]

I am here for another one of these! You have encouraged me to try this! I have been thinking about it for a few months, just haven't jumped on it. 🍁🍂 as always your commentary is my favorite! 😂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!! i def wanna do another soon 🫢

[@Diana-sp3rq]

I desperately need to get my screen time down. So glad you did this video.

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Ok I am definitely making this video at some point

[@oliviareadsalatte]

🙌🏼

[@rebeccaalcantar957]

I would love more of these videos. I want to do it myself

[@queeni8054]

I think i'd like to see you incorporate this into your weekly vlog whenever you do it, so I can still hear about the books!

[@thetrueolivia]

I had to tell you. I will watch any video that has a book haul, barnes and noble, and a coffee run lol. And i did enjoy this video 🙂 Also, I love myself some RH. My go to is RHNYC but they got drama right now and I'm hoping the new cast or legacy will be out soon. Also, a friend if mine suggested RHSLC so I gotta check it out now!

[@viktoriapetrova03]

haven't watched it yet but so exciteddd

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you ☺️

[@ameedwards9467]

Loved it! yes definitely do it again. Your reading is impressive. I love this idea, to be honest I actually don't have that high of a phone usage but I would love to read 6 hours in a day! But between full time work and two kids plus husband and dog there is just no way 🤣

[@kaitieharty5634]

I LOVED this video ❤ this was so cool to see, and I would love for you to do it again if you’d be up for it please! I doom scroll so much, especially when I’m anxious. Could you maybe do a deep dive on how to do a challenge like this? My screen time is baddddd

[@crystalsbookishlife]

I needed this so much. Love your vlogs Olivia ❤️

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh thank you so much 💛

[@pandiegirl597]

🍁🍂🍁 Definitely need to try this and need to look up that cute app you used to keep you on track.

[@carolinesromancereads]

You should try it again! Really enjoyed the video and now it makes me want to do this too haha! I have awful focusing issues so I’ve only been reading in 10 minute sprints and I really need to fix that!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i definitely have a goal of upping how long i can read! even in those sprints i did i had to pause and take a break and i want to get those breaks down.

[@carolinesromancereads]

@@oliviareadsalatte Good luck to you! I’m hoping increasing my sprints will help me read more - been having issues starting and not finishing books so now I have like 6 books going lol!

[@00egg00]

Been doing this for little over a year now! I don't have any social media apps, and if I need to post on insta, I'll download it and then delete it. I noticed I was just sitting on the insta explorer page when I'm feeling down and easily wasting 30 minutes. I'll also sometimes leave my phone in another room and forget about it for a few hours

[@abrareads]

🍁🍂 it really is amazing how much time we spend on our phones. Kudos to you for doing this challenge.

[@tapcat2000]

I like this challenge. Since I am not reading right now, I invested in a nintendo switch lite (also my super early xmas present to me). I know another screen, but I have to use my brain to play it. At least something.

[@ohhmelodyy]

i love these screen time challenges!! 🍂 i want to try it, but i feel like half my screen time is trying to figure out what book i want to read and then i get upset with myself bc i could have used all that time to read a book if i actually found one for my mood

Where did you get your taylor swift sweatshirt it's amazing I want it immediately. Love the video!

[@MoonIsBookMarked]

Olivia dearrrr my cat loves your videos I’m a proud cat moma. Every time he sees ginger he gets soooo focused on the screen I made a TikTok showing it but I couldn’t tag you 😂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

omg i have to go check it out 🐈

[@PumpkinMozie]

I love this challenge haha

[@ZoeMikelStites]

Have you tried microjournaling to help reduce social media time? Struthless has a really good video about it and MAN it helped me cut back.. i'd also love to see more videos like this 🙂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i need to look into this 👀

[@ZoeMikelStites]

@@oliviareadsalatte His channel is REALLY good. This is the video where he goes into it kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3fZlXucnbt8qbM

[@samwiselover]

This was such a good idea! I need to be better about switching to more reading rather than screen time. I love reading but think that social media has made my attention span shorter and that needs to be fixed.

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

You can really breeze through the pages! Good for you!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

as soon as this phone is down? i’m unstoppable 🤣 now it’s the putting the phone away part i’m bad at…

[@angelaholmes8888]

I'm currently reading winterkeep by Kristin cashore Christine by Stephen king A ballad of love and glory by reyna grande Oleander sword by tasha suri

[@sarahstarbell]

I'm tempted to uninstall tiktok myself I'll be honest. I only spend about 2 hours a day between twitter/reddit/tiktok but that's still a fair amount of time I could just be reading. I liked this vlog, would love to see you do it again!

[@mymirandamoments11]

I'm so proud to have an average screentime of 1h 28mins. Idk how I actually got that low but I'm glad my screentime is so low but I can definitely say deleting TikTok and Instagram helped a lot

[@brittanywaynestilphen4685]

I tried the audiobook of legendborn, and the accent killed me... I would prefer a different narrator.. I loved this video!!!! I also have a massive issue with screen time but to be honest most of it is reading on my kindle app on my phone while not home, or KZbin for asmr music. It's almost never social media.

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Having a job in education where I’m too stressed for social media is doing wonders for me lol

i definitely get that

Wow I need to do this! I’m scrolling so much too. 😅

same!! i’m probably gonna have to do it again lol
