Can’t read the article due to the paywall, but I know that for all the internet reading and viewing I did in 2020, I also spent a great deal of time reading a diverse collection of books. According to my Goodreads year in review I completed 84 books and read over 20,000 pages. I do feel as though I spend too much time perusing the internet and especially social media, but by making an intentional plan to read and setting personal goals I have been able to balance much of my internet media intake with much that is valuable, beneficial, and enjoyable.

You should search for me on Goodreads! 44 books and 16k for me. I’ve done better the previous two years but life changes have made it difficult to read like I want to. I’ve also been trying to listen to more sermons.

I also spend too much time on the internet and am trying to curb that.
