Sounds like a great plan! I've certainly gotten in the bad habit over the past few months of waking up in the morning and immediately checking Twitter and my e-mail, so maybe I should think about your "no social media until 30 minutes of reading" plan!

Yay! 30 is still an impressive number, and enjoying them is even better :)
Happy new year!
No rules regarding format, but I did give myself one rule. The minimum 30 minutes is outside my morning Bible reading and needs to be done before I spend time on social media or personal email. So far I'm on a roll keeping this rule. We'll see how it goes when I start back to work next week. :)
Hope you all have a great year of reading!
