I have to read a lot of shit but I've lost my attention span over the years and now I have trouble focusing on text. Any advice? The only thing I do lately is starting a book, read the first page, close it, and start another one. Seems like every book is too long

I have the same problem. It was a lot easier to finish books when I was given a time frame to finish them or I'd fail a major test or something.

I got diagnosed with ADD though, and that's a pretty common symptom of ADD, is inability to finish a book, and when the ADD person tries to read, they end up skimming a lot instead of actually taking it all in
I got prescribed adderall though so I can focus on a book easily nowadays.

My most intensive periods of reading tend to be when I'm procrastinating something else. Whether it be an appointment, or just an assignment that isn't all that interesting. Also, my focus gets pretty godlike when I'm shitting.
