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.

is this saying anyone can read 30 pages a day? I'm all for getting more people to read more but they have to want to, telling them its easy doesn't achieve that
What if I picked a lower number
Yeah just saying an easier way is to figure out X number of books you want to read by that number.
yeah ig I'm with you. if I just wanted to read 20 books a year, avg 300 pages, it'd only be 16 pages a day, or, perhaps its important to note, 32 pages every other day. So if you miss a day that's not a big deal, its like 30 mins you can make up somewhere else when you want to read more than just 16 pages.
Just the original title/post sounded like "absolutely everyone can just spend an hour+ per day reading" (average speed to read a non-technical page is 2 mins)
I agree, reading an hour can easily be made physically impossible
