When you actually want to read and you feel like let me do it later, you should think about the future and not the present to avoid regrets. - Set a time limit for your task.
There should always be limit in whatever you are doing, because whenever I actually want to read and i'm pressing phone at that particular time I just forget myself and just postpone to read later. I know it happens to everyone like that, so cases like this put your in Airplane mode, set it to Do not Disturb in order to complete your tasks. - Don't beat yourself up about it
