After logging out of Instagram to kill the doomscrolling habit, I realized I needed a tool for those quiet moments—like sitting next to my wife—where the "clicky" buttons of my Anbernic RG35XX Plus would be too loud (1:47). The Attention Span Test (4:03): I’ll admit, I was scared. Between skimming technical manuals for work and "diagonal reading" printer instructions (4:59), I thought I had lost the ability to focus on a single story. However, having a dedicated device with zero notifications proved that my attention span isn't the problem—my phone is (8:57). Gear Acquisition vs. Practicality (6:17): I touch on the urge to buy a "better" e-reader after a bad experience with Audible deleting my purchased books (6:59), but ultimately decided that the old device I already own is the best tool for the job. What I'm Reading (11:11): I'm diving into a "Groundhog Day" style fantasy novel called "How to Become the Dark Lord and Die," and I’m already hooked on the premise of a heroine who is tired of losing and decides to take the villain's path (12:07). ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Day 1 with Kindle 01:47 - Gaming vs. Reading 02:41 - The struggle with boredom 04:03 - Testing my attention span 06:17 - The problem with digital licenses 07:31 - Resisting the urge to upgrade 08:57 - Kindle App vs. Kindle Device 09:53 - Escaping freelancer "Work Mode" 11:11 - What I'm reading right now 12:57 - Outro & Milestone Goal ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
