If you can’t escape your phone, put books on it
If reading has given way in your life to social media and other distractions, it can be hard to return to books – but this tip could help. Between work, friends and everything else, it is hard to imagine finding time every day to read. The chances are, though, that you could. Do you commute? If you’re not forced to work on it, you can read. Lunch break? Read! Usually we are guilty of flicking (щелкать, перелистывать) between social media accounts whenever we get a spare five minutes. However, it is just as easy to open an EBook Reader app on your phone as Facebook or Instagram. Some apps offer a monthly subscription, so reading EBooks is not as expensive as printed books. If reading on your phone is the only way you can commit, try it!
Being overwhelmed (переполнять, захлестнуть) by information has shattered (разделяет, разбивает) a lot of our attention. By making a conscious (сознательный) effort to read you’ll be back up to at least one book a week, which is good.
