Yeah, I know, it's hella wild, but I can now clock more than 300
hours on Android! And here's the lowdown on how it all went down . . .

I was catching some pretty gnarly Z's. I'd wake up in the
middle of the night and couldn't drift back off. So I started
to kill time on those nights by reading PDFs, cramming vocab,
or doing other chill stuff on my Android device.

I was already hitting the books for an hour in the evening and
again in the morning. So I was racking up two hours daily on
my Android, plus another hour (on average) at night. That's
three hours of screen time, dude!

Sure, I was soaking up some knowledge, but those three hours
were MIA during the day.

This bogus nighttime waking! Why couldn't I just sleep like a log?

Finally, I had this eureka moment about how to neutralize the
time spent during these nocturnal adventures! If I read for an
hour at night, I'd subtract that time from my evening or morning
reading sesh! Like, if I read for 30 minutes at night, I'd only
read for 30 instead of 60 minutes the next morning. That way,
the time spent burning the midnight oil would be "neutralized."

In my internal bookkeeping, I'd credit myself with two hours of
reading time per day. The evening, night, and morning reading times
would be subtracted from that. In other words: I'd cut down on
morning and evening reading to offset the nighttime reading, so the
nocturnal page-turning wouldn't jack up the total reading time.

So now, I'm getting credited with two hours of device usage time
every day. These days, though, I'm reading less in the evening,
at night, and in the morning than I used to. I'm getting credited
with two hours of device use daily (for reading, vocab drilling,
etc.), but I'm only using about an hour or 90 minutes a day now.

That's how I ended up with a surplus of more than 300 hours of
device use in the bank!

And why is this something notable?
