Help! I think I'm addicted to reading... (hexbear.net)

I'm not doing what I have to do.

I'm currently reading 3 books, but I want to read more. 3 should be enough. Before, I was reading much more than that.

Now that I just finished a book, I want to replace it with something else.

How do I stop myself from reading too much?

UGH

(This isn't a bit, this is genuinely a problem for me...)

pick chores you want to do instead. It's not gratifying at all and really sucks but making the decision of whether I want to read a book or do chores before I reach the time of decision has helped me get chores done. It doesnt work great though, it passes the bar of "better than nothing" but thats about it.

Download some audio books (on the high seas) and listen to books while doing chores.
