    137 pages in an hour?! That’s crazy I can only read like 35-45 pages in an hour depends on how easily the book is written, I’m so jealous that you got that much done in 1h!!

      I once read 150 in an hour... and it wasn't big writing or short pages or anything. I just learned how to speed read through parts I find boring without losing any context. I don't think I could read if I wasn't a fast reader

      Literally same because all within 1 hour? That’s impressive, the most I’ve read in 1 hour was 64 pages but the book itself was small with short chapters🤣 but for me it’s 40-50 pages in 1 hour usually

    Love this idea. Im seeing this video 3 months after you posted it and looking at my screen time and if I did this I would take off my kindle time because thats reading and thats mostly how I read my books. I just put up some bookshelves for my 85 physical books. I have about 10 more at least in storage that I need to figure out where they are in the storage unit. I really want to read a few specifically pretty soon and I have one more of a set on my kindle that I want to read before I get to my physical books. My screen time has gone down since I started working in August. My daily average for Tuesday through Saturday of this week is at 3.3 hours. My total screen time is 24 hours and 47 minutes. 4 hours of the time this week was reading. That feels horrible. Lol. I have some stuff that I would take off that time though like a speedometer and security camera that I clear the notifications and close it. Im not sure though. Lol
