Hi all,
I'm currently on maternity leave and find myself on my phone 6+ hours a day due to nursing, contact napping, and middle of the night feeds. I don't get time to myself anymore to study at a table with books and occasional app use (mostly dictionaries). I have a good baby who sleeps so I don't feel too sleep deprived, but he's a hungry boy so I'm often just stuck nursing.
I'm looking for ideas to get me off brainrot doomscrolling and doing something intellectually stimulating while nursing/nap trapped. I do have WaniKani so I've installed Tsurukame. I was N2 a few years ago, but probably a realistic N3 at the moment. My goals are improving my reading proficiency mostly so kanij, vocab, and grammar are big. That being said, I enjoy podcasts to pass the time while settling baby/walks/nappy changes so any recommendations there would be great. I enjoy podcasts that have two hosts chatting to one another.
Any ideas? I've tried the e-Reader hacks with a Kindle (also have one) but I always get blocked (and after spending $ on e-books the last time, I give up). Open to ideas for reading (is Satori Reader good for my level/on iPhone), even if it means purchasing a different e-reader that has more success.
Thank you everyone!
