Calling all littens: What are your tips/strategies to stay focused while reading? I find my mind wandering more than I care for lately...
BookishFeminist I switch between things (I may read a short story every few chapters of a book to break it up) or I just take breaks from reading every 15 min or so. I empathize—I have ADHD so distractions while reading have always been a big problem for me. Sometimes it's best to set it down for a bit & come back. Also I find classical music in the background helps! 7y
LauraBeth I try to minimize outside distractions as best I can - so for example - I try not to read with my phone nearby because I'll eventually pick it up. I read better in short bursts (15-20 mins) as opposed to reading for long stretches at a time. My brain can be very scattered so sometimes it helps to give in to it - read for a short bit, clean for a short bit, work for a bit. 7y
