I've subscribed to physical periodicals in a similar effort, but they often end up unread by the end of the week. The problem for me, clearly, is the needed behavioral modification, and not the incentive to prioritize the material that I pay money for. This just adds guilt for wasting money and backsliding (I know, a bit melodramatic). So often I still idly scroll reddit or something, and hate myself once I realize what I'm doing.

Anyway, interesting list. Thanks for the reminder to make this effort again.

I too, have had this embarrassing experience. Subscriptions come through the door and then we're lying in their envelopes unread!

Like you say though it's a process. I've found time in my commute, 2weekly lunchtimes, 1.5hrs after putting the kids to sleep and weekend mornings. Just putting these habits in place and starting to do them with reading (books&mags) I found time.
