I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? The incredible Cynthia Nixon joins me

this week for a conversation filled with memories and stories I didn't even know. Cynthia could have

been Carrie. When I first read the script, they asked me to read for Carrie, as I think they asked

you to read for Carrie. Did you? I did. And they were like, yeah, not so much.

You can't miss this.

Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of IHeart Radio.

Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is to think about how you might spend time when you are too tired to read. More mindless screen time isn't the only

option for filling low energy hours. And a little preparation means you can spend those hours in

happier ways.

We often start the day with good intentions.

Few of us would consciously declare that, given that I only have a few hours of discretionary time each day, I would like to spend the bulk of those hours looking

at sponsored posts on Instagram.

But as the day wins on, we run out of energy.

Even if in the abstract we would like to read in our spare time, that can feel hard in the

moment, amid exhaustion or irritation, and all those end-of-day emotions.

Before you spend that hour before bed scrolling through tweets, though, think about some other options.

For instance, you might lower the difficulty level of what you are reading.

I like using the Libby app to check out digital copies of magazines.
