Thanks! Dropping magazine subscriptions (Analog, Asimov's, F&SF and Grantville Gazette) has certainly helped - that's 24 books a year I'm not buying.)
And I think it's helped by more than just that number. With no 'automatic' purchases, I think more before buying another book, as going from zero to one or one to two is a bigger step than going from three to four, or four to five.
While the number I read has changed with changing circumstances, the big difference has been in the number I'm buying. I'm buying about half as many as I did in 2020 and 2019. And far fewer than I bought before that.
It's taken me ten years, but perhaps I finally have a handle on it...
