Alessandra is reading…

Reading whatever I want since 2020 (when I graduated from grad school).

saying no to the phone and reading update

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Not enough.

This mainly persists in my random scrolling and checking notifications. While I mean well for myself when opening apps, it can turn into anywhere from a mere 5 minutes to an hour of bullshit that could have been spent productively.

So here I am, with another shitty and short post, leaving the internet quickly because, though I would love to write more and edit, I would rather spend my time planning for tomorrow’s farming adventures, reading, and spending time with my husband.

Also, I am currently [and slowly] reading

  • Book 3 of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
  • Selected Poems by Langston Hughes

I am somewhat sad to see that I will only have a few books finished for this month. But farming has taken precedence and this may be a good time for me to practice reading quality over quantity.

    Learning to say no when necessary is crucial for maintaining boundaries and prioritizing your well-being. It’s a skill that takes practice, but it’s worth it for your mental and emotional health. -ArConsultings.org
