One of the most important things that I own is my Kindle. It encourages me to learn and to spend time with myself to really think about the lessons that the book teaches. Unlike audiobooks, it can sometimes be distracting to follow the voice of the author and to note the points that the author makes. With a Kindle, you can follow easily, and with a systematic noting system that the developer incorporated into the Kindle, you can track what page you want to revise and the important notes that you have made during a specific paragraph. Another useful feature is tracking your reading time. My Kindle has a tracking feature, and that helps me a lot in my daily goals. In 2025, I plan to set the goal to read as much as I can, at least one hour every day. You might think that it's a long time; however, I believe that spending time each day to develop yourself and grow out of your own mindset is important, and this Kindle helps me to do just that. I am able to keep track of my reading time and reduce the scrolling on social media and other entertainment platforms.
