helped me tremendously when I was writing my thesis, and it helps me now when writing creatively. donāt have to read anything in particular, doesnāt even have to be related to what youāre writing! Just read for a set amount of time or pages or until you feel ready.

I have gone long stretches without reading and what helps me get back to it is usually a comic book or graphic novel. Also thereās no wrong way to read, you can read whatever you want. Donāt pressure yourself to read a certain amount or certain genres.

i usually find myself in reading ruts when iām taking classes and being assigned books or when iām trying to keep up with new releases and the āsmartā books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. Iām reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and itās just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

at least casually. donāt delete the accounts but donāt have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
donāt use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something youāre not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if itās not what youāre looking for lol ā as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)
