Having some serious concentration problems this week - I think my brain keeps obsessing on work. Hit me up with your best easy, escapist reading recs please!

Picture is my local park where I‘ve been spending inordinate amounts of time walking or running to clear my head this year...

ravenlee I hope you find your groove again! I go for middle grade or graphic novels, maybe romance, when I‘m having trouble concentrating. Good luck! 3y
Verity @ravenlee thank you! 3y

Just started listening to this audiobook, then I begin to absentmindedly scroll through Litsy....
Oh dear, there goes my concentration!
You can train your mind to concentrate by, after reading a page from a book, reflect on the page before you move on.

My concentration is currently terrible & I notice this most when I read books. I have recently given up coffee in order to help calm myself and avoid erratic thoughts and behaviors.
Baby steps...

I know many of you already follow Book Riot on social media but I still wanted to share just in case. This concentration issue randomly arises for me right now. Interesting article.

Guys...I‘ve only read one book in print this month. ONE. While I‘ve listened to several via audiobook on my commute, I‘ve only finished one in print. This has never happened. And I have several really good books going, books I would normally enjoy, but I simply. Can‘t. Focus. Can‘t concentrate. It‘s killing me!!! #RealLifeLitsy #LitsyConfessions

TheBookgeekFrau I'm having the same problem 😕 5y
cathysaid @C.Perone I‘m sorry. It‘s so frustrating! Seems like I‘m lacking oxygen! 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @cathysaid Extremely frustrating! Hopefully, for both of us, things get back to normal soon 🤞🤞 5y

Anybody else have this concentration/focus problem? I swear I have undiagnosed ADD... Really enjoying my current book but here I am on my phone!

JacqMac This happens to me sometimes. I‘m so easily distracted. 5y
Cinfhen Hilarious and yes!!! I definitely developed late age ADD /I can‘t read big books anymore and my attention span is MUCH shorter 😬 5y

"To really get the full benefit of these lessons you should read a page, then close the book and thoughtfully recall it's ideas. If you will do this you will soon cultivate a concentrated mental habit, which will enable you to read with ordinary rapidity and remember all that you read"(8).
