With the start of a new year comes new reading goals. Reading more is a great goal to have, but how can you make sure you actually follow through with it? The answer is simple. You must integrate it into your routine.

We all know the “I’ll read in my spare time” story too well, and it doesn’t typically end well. This method of reaching a goal doesn’t work because we often find other ways to fill our spare time such a scrolling on social media or watching Netflix. While we’re not saying you can’t do that if you want to reach your reading goals, we are saying there’s a better way.

Make reading a part of your everyday routine. If you have time in the morning, say you’ll read for at least 15 minutes before you start your day. Another great time to schedule your reading is before bed. There’s nothing better than curling into a comfy bed with a good book, so why not make it a habit and do it every night?

The key to reading more books is to make progress everyday. Whether it’s 15 minutes or an hour, you can read more books if you try. You just need the right structure in place to help you do that!

Why You Should Read 10 Minutes Before Bed Every Night https://luxandlush.com/why-you-should-read-10-minutes-before-bed-every-night/ Thu, 27 Oct 2022 12:50:00 +0000 https://luxandlush.com/?p=2627 As we embark into an age of technology, it’s been said that individuals from the younger generations have much shorter spans. But whichever year you were born in, whether it be in the ’80s, ’90s, or new millennium, none of us are immune to the effects of 10-second TikToks, hyper-fast information overload, and the waning […]

As we embark into an age of technology, it’s been said that individuals from the younger generations have much shorter spans. But whichever year you were born in, whether it be in the ’80s, ’90s, or new millennium, none of us are immune to the effects of 10-second TikToks, hyper-fast information overload, and the waning of our attention span as a collective society. For this reason, we believe everyone would benefit from reading 10 minutes before bed every night.

And With An Actual Book, Too

When we say reading, we mean you should open up an actual book and read. Not a phone or tablet, where you’re likely to get distracted from your article with about five different targeted advertisements. Not even a Kindle. We mean a real book.

It’ll Help You Focus

By committing to a mere ten minutes every night—which really isn’t that long, when you think about it—you’ll allow yourself to focus better. There’s something special about immersing yourself in a world, and not allowing anything else to distract you. On our devices, there are not only distractions, but distractions from the distractions. And we all need a regular break from them from time to time.

The Best Thing You Can Do on a Plane https://luxandlush.com/the-best-thing-you-can-do-on-a-plane/ Sat, 27 Aug 2022 16:59:00 +0000 https://luxandlush.com/?p=2171 Alright, so you’ve just got on a plane, you’ve stowed your luggage, you’ve sat in your seat, and now you’re gearing up for a solid ten-hour flight. You may be excited about the trip you’re about to go on, but that doesn’t mean you’re excited about the flight. Cramped with a bunch of people in […]

Alright, so you’ve just got on a plane, you’ve stowed your luggage, you’ve sat in your seat, and now you’re gearing up for a solid ten-hour flight. You may be excited about the trip you’re about to go on, but that doesn’t mean you’re excited about the flight. Cramped with a bunch of people in a tin can in the sky can be a bit stuffy, but here’s one of the best things you can do to pass the time.

Read a Book

We know, we know, we’re not exactly reinventing the wheel here. People have been reading books on planes since they were in existence. But while there’s a large community of people who read books on planes, there’s also an entire generation of youngsters who don’t.

Encouraging the New Crowd

The younger generations—most Gen Z, but also a lot of millennials—have no interest in reading on planes. We don’t mean to generalize, but unfortunately, they grew up in a tech-filled environment that allowed them to neglect books, one YouTube video at a time. But if you’re a member of Gen Z, or anyone for that matter, who wants to start reading books but can’t find the time, a long ride plane ride can be a great opportunity to try it out!
