I love learning about new things and I enjoy stories a lot. But I get easily distracted. I can’t even finish a page nowadays without being distracted and this has resulted in me not finishing a book in like 7 years.
The last books and only book I have ever finished in my life is Goosebumps (That Gnome story).
When I start reading a paragraph, I do okay but by the end of that paragraph I either get distracted or I forget how that paragraph started and how it eventually connects. This then prompts me to re-read the entire paragraph, countless times.
Eventually I get burnt out and I don’t finish the page. I don’t know how to fix this, but I want to be able to read books again.
I need some advice.
You could try listening to music while you read. I know it seems counterintuitive, but if you make a playlist of music you know really well and play it in the background or through headphones it really helps.
It seems to occupy the part of your brain but because it’s something it recognises it doesn’t distract you from what you’re doing.
It can’t be the radio or new music though.
