Thought about it, snce it’s near New Year’s.

In my opinion, exercising/training/stretching atleast once a week would be a good thing for most people.

    Read books.

    Really anything, philosophy is great but some don’t have the patience for it.

    If it’s graphic novels or “kids” books, it’s all good. Spend a bit of time every day reading.

      And to add, if reading just doesn’t seem to work, be open towards audio books. They are every bit as good as the books (unabridged, anyway) but can be a better fit for some.

      I have adhd and most of my reading has evolved to be listening. It works well so I can get some stimming while doing boring like dishes or whatever, and this way I actually finish books.

      Don’t listen to anyone telling you it’s “not reading”. It is. Whatever works for you.

        What I’m getting at, is not about finishing books, it’s more about the time.

        Slow down, take the time, even 10 minutes, to improve your mind. Reading, any type of reading, improves your thinking.

      Couldn’t agree more.

      Secondly, never ask for book recommendations on Lemmy or Reddit. You’ll just get a list of pretentious, wanky suggestions that people pretend to like

      The best fiction is sometimes just a trashy, edge-of-your-seat thriller
