ir a la playa, bañarme en agua cristalina y helada, hacer unos sudokus, leer un rato, disfrutar del sonido de las olas y no tener ni un solo pensamiento sobre mi cuerpo...i used to pray for times like this
A guy used a Kindle for 4 years before he realized he was using it wrong.
He read 60+ books on it. Highlighted hundreds of passages. Never adjusted a single setting beyond font size.
His sister-in-law a librarian who's read 800+ books on her Kindle sat next to him on a flight and watched him read for 20 minutes.
She finally said: "Can I show you something? You're missing the 9 features that make this thing actually useful. Amazon hides them 4 menus deep. Every Kindle owner I know reads way slower because of it."
She changed 9 settings in 6 minutes.
He finished his next book in half the usual time. Remembered twice as much. Looked up zero words on his phone.
Here's everything she showed him

One day you're 21 with a brand new degree thinking you're about to take on the world. Then you blink and you're 26, in a role you fell into because it was "available," earning enough to survive but not enough to leave. Five years of "just for now" and it became your entire career.
