READING CHALLENGE!!!

Rn I'm passively reading the novel 'Amazing Grace. So as I read it I will update you in this fun-themed blog post and participate in a self-made reading challenge. 

Let's get started. 

So Amazing Grace is exactly 500 pages long. Right now (rn) I'm on page 61, which is not great, as I want the entire novel to be finished by the end of today, or by the afternoon which is great. 

Part one of the reading challenge: set a 10 minute timer on your phone and keep reading non-stop and once the timer beeps, fold the page your on and see the page number you read up to. 

I'm going to do this now. 

Results: we made it to page 70, only 9 pages, but I was reading slow. I'm proud of myself anyway for not giving up and not turning off the timer. Ready for round two?.

Part two of the reading challenge: read the rest of the chapter your on. 

This book has lengthy chapters, so my next part of the ultimate reading challenge is to read the rest of the chapter completely with no breaks. 

Let's get it started. 

Results: After a while I made it and finished the chapter on page 78. My goal is to have the whole book finished by six, so I can do other things, and right now it's 11:56 AM. Almost 12. 

Anyway, I'm getting bored but determined. So here's our hardest reading challenge round yet!. Make it to page 100. Regardless of the chapter, just make it to page 100, non-stop reading until you make it. That's actually only 22 pages, but non-stop it may seem like more. Okay ready?. Lets make it. 

PROGRESS: Okay so basically I took a longgg break. Anyway now its 12:50 AM and I still want to be completed and done by six. So let's continue our challenge of getting to page 100!!. (And while I'm doing this challenge you can do it along with me with another book if you'd like). 

Results: Yes! I've finished the task. I got to page 100 and realised a few seconds before that the rest of Chapter Four was only a few pages more, so I even finished chapter four too. Now I'm on page 103 out of 500. But, hey! At least I'm somewhere, right?. 

Now this calls for a break. I'm going to relax for a while, scroll on my phone, maybe message a few friends and relax. I deserve it after reading practically the whole day!!. 

BREAK. 

THE NEXT DAY: 

November >>>

All my movies for the Winter are finished and I need to read three novels this month, same goes for December (just two). 

I also have to do pilates every Friday and the premocks and Christmas movies.... there's a lot. 

This November, before I return to school I want  my one series to be watched, one novel to be fully read, and my tasks started. These are my goals. 

Happy November!!! 

Ten Ways To AVOID High Screen TIME

If your the type of person to always be glued to their phone, then I have made this blog post just for you!. First of all here's a life update: 

🛑 I've started watching the Winter movies. 

🛑 I am going to read an entire book today from start to finish 😳

🛑 It's officially Winter!! 

Anyway, not that that's out of the way, here's my clever ways to STAY OFF your phone.

1. Plan your days 

Plan your days on a price of paper the night before. Set high times for school, study, homework, hang-outs, etc. But also set limited times for going on your phone. E.g: 30 minutes a day. 

2. Ask your parents to take away your phone for a month 

This is a nice way to get rid of your phone for a whole social media detox month. I've talked about this a year ago, but its healthy to stay off your phone, from time to time. You can still text your friends on somebody else's phone and if you have online homework, to do it on a laptop, it'd, e.t.c. But don't use social media!!. 

3. Delete three social media apps, like IG, Snap, Tiktok, VSCO, WhatsApp. 

Delete three social Media apps. Particularly the ones you use most often. Find a different way to text. Trust me, you don't need half the social media apps yoir using. 

3. Watch social media detox videos, then give your phone to your parents or put it away for a certain amount of time, e.g: one week/month/day. 

This allows for time off. 

Tip: and don't go reaching for that phone. Trust me, you don't need it. Spend just a little time off it and you'll feel so much happier and productive!!. 

That's all Mini-Kay's! Please comment your fav method of sm detox. Have a great day!
