Your Brain Was Never Supposed to Read

Studies show that Generation Z spends 6+ hours daily on phone screens intentionally designed to capture and retain user attention, leading to habitual and often mindless scrolling.  Imagine replacing unproductive screen time with purposeful reading!  Dedicating just one hour a day to reading can significantly enhance skills, foster creativity, and establish a solid reading habit. The key lies in consistent practice and gradually retraining the brain to favor reading over scrolling. ￼

This aligns with broader #Digital Wellness 📱🧘 strategies for reducing screen time, such as setting app usage limits, creating dedicated reading routines, and choosing engaging reading materials. By consciously redirecting attention from screens to books, individuals can reclaim their time and improve their cognitive well-being.

The 68% stress reduction serves as a great reminder to dive into a book. This is the second time that I’ve been told reading fiction can boost our empathy. There was a period of time where I was reading mostly non-fiction, but reading fiction has kept me engaged with reading in general.
