Self Improvement
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

not bad lol, sorry for some reason I missed the notification
It's a good baseline to explain to people how many books they can expect to get through in a year with minimum effort. One good day off reading would blow thru many times that
Oh, misunderstood, I am reading between 50-100 currently. Some for academia though
It's unintuitive to me, but my buddy recently told me one thing which kept him from reading was the fear he wouldn't be able to read as much as he wanted to if he tried. 😰
Just 30 pages a day and you can kill eleven 1,000 page books Stephen King wrote on cocaine annually - which I don't want to do, but some people do, and makes a good yardstick
I am mostly doing articles and single book chapters rn bc university hell
some discworld and other random fantasy books
