coincidently, I too have started to avoid my phone and reach for my kindle instead. I remind myself I don't need to read about the news everyday. I'd prefer to read a novel/non-fiction than other stuff on the internet.
I do love listening to youtube talks about tech so I try to make space for that though.
When I do read a good book - I do try to makes notes of it. But I haven't had much time for it these days with a little one. (This is for non-fiction books). But even for fiction I keep a list and give a one liner of the plot and a rating. Its for my own personal use.
Writing down notes helps with later recall of the information - being handed the notes by others helps less with recall than doing it yourself.
