whom amongst us has had the ability to read an entire book in a single weekend and then had their attention spans ruined by smartphones and social media? couldnt be me of course
Let's say you used to play soccer when you were younger, and now wonder how to re-bulk your atrophied leg muscles, twenty years later. It's the same thing; squatting sucks at first (okay, always) and you have to manually push yourself through plateaus, set timers to force you to endure for such & such time, etc.
Eventually you start reading Marx for enjoyment, like me-- hrm, wait, maybe forget about all that...
Oof, I feel this. It took me like eight months to read the book I mentioned in my reply and it's around 280 pages. Slowly getting back to the point where I can turn off electronics and zone out reading for a while. Be kind to yourself, it'll come back.

I am currently trying to figure out how to undo this. I want that attention span back.

Hmm, my family already thinks I'm weird for liking obscure academic stuff, maybe I should just take up soccer instead.
