At this point in my life, digital detox is an alien concept to me, and I say that as a boomer who gets antsy when he's more than ten feet away from his phone. Yet, according to my reading diary, I've started over 30 books this year, finished 22 of them (a couple I'm in the middle of, several I've abandoned already), and I still occasionally check in on Reddit, have a bunch of email newsletters and a number of RSS feeds (including some people I follow on Twitter, meaning I don't have to actually open Twitter).
I've read a lot ever since I was a kid, and a couple of years ago when I felt I wasn't reading books as much as I used to I decided to turn the habit around, with what I consider minimal change in what I followed, instead changing how I followed. More than anything it's a matter of ruthless curation. I think it helps that I have a Kindle and the Kindle apps on my tablet and phone. I'm literally never without a book.
