Hello, comrades. I’m here for your suggestions.

As the title says, I have been having a really hard time trying to read texts. I just find it very hard to concentrate on large text. I used to love reading, but all the years spent in the education system and having to read/study for lessons that I don’t really care for made me (or, most probably, my brain) dislike reading, and I still haven’t fully overcome that state of mind. I start to read a book, but I can’t keep reading for long. Also I’m easily getting distracted (surely a trait that I picked up while being on social media), so practically reading any book or long text, even if I find it really interesting or useful, gets even harder and progress may slow down to < 10 pages a day at times.

So, has anything like that ever occured to you? How did you overcome it? Thank you for reading this, comments will be appreciated.

Edit: Thank you for all the replies! It seems like many comrades went through something similar and I appreciate your replies.

Physical books and e-readers (with e-ink and non-backlit screens) are also much easier on the eyes than phone or computer screens which means you can read for longer periods of time which helps with immersion.

Oh yeah for sure, it’s a whole different experience.
