Read a lot. I had largely fallen out of the habit of reading, in part due to attempting to switch to Kindle by using it on my iPad/iPhone. But the temptations of the Internet are right there all the damn time.
Last year, I went back to reading paper books, and it was a revelation. Suddenly, I could immerse myself again! And after a while of this, my spouse gave me her unused Kindle Paperwhite - all the advantages of ebooks, only without Internet access on the device. Easy to read in bed at night without keeping her up with a light, too.
I'd almost forgotten the pleasures of chewing through big, intense works of nonfiction, the richness and depth of book-level arguments of history, science, biography, and more.
