I used to read a lot before high school, and when I would it would be in long sessions. I find these days that when I read, I can buckle down for a couple chapters but then I get restless and search for something to distract me. It'd be wonderful if I could do something stimulating other than looking at phone or playing vidya during those moments when I need to break
How do you break up your time reading? Do you do it at all? Gimme ur tips and anecdotes
I usually get up every 45 mins and walk around, walk up a stairs, make coffee or another hot drink, hang from a chin up bar, roll on a mat making stretching noises. Finding a way to be outside for 45 mins activity during peak sunlight (in less sunny areas) helps a lot with focus and concentration too.
For me, keeping physically activated (broscience) and keeping warm, keeping the blood flowing and not entering a sedentary state, is the biggest part of motivation and focus for reading or working at a desk.
It's usually easier to drop distractions when you've gone to so much trouble to get activated, caffeinated, irradiated and properly rested lol.
8 hour reading sessions in high school gang too.
