For me, I need to have the physical book, in my hands, because otherwise my mind will immediately wander off. Also, heavily recommend noise canceling headphones and chewing something while reading, could be gum, or a reading snack lol, but it really helps to keep me focused

I bring a book with me wherever I go, and I read while I’m waiting. Be it at a doctor’s appointment, a restaurant, etc. I have trouble reading at home so that’s how I keep myself on track.

I read a bunch of different books at a time. It’s really hard for me to start them, but once I’m able to and am in the middle of a bunch of them, I can easily pick up whichever I’m in the mood for. Sometimes I’ll literally pick up a book, read a page and realize I’m not in the mood for it, and pick up another and continue reading. I’ll also occasionally borrow from the library, the deadlines help me focus (tho they did away with fines so I have been late a few times returning)

audiobooks are more bearable for me if I listen to them and read along simultaneously

You have to find your format and your genre and get comfortable with dnf'ing books! I struggled for a long time but now I read what I want when I want, completely digital on my ereader or phone, and I let myself stop reading something when it isnt working, not in the sense of quitting but acknowledging when its not holding attention the way it should

Pomodoro method but for reading! Shorter bursts at first if you're struggling!

I bring my books with me everywhere. I only let myself read 2 at most at a time because it’s too easy to DNF if I have more. I read for about 10-15 minutes at a time and I don’t care how long it takes me to get through a book. And before buying, I read the first few pages to see if I like the style so I know I can get through it.

I love having some kind of plain ambiance playing in the background! Rainstorms or just instrumental music is my fave!! And if you’re reading a more well known book, you can typically find playlists or YouTube videos with that type of that fits the vibe of the book/seeies

I have to take a lot of breaks. When my mind starts to wander off, it’s time for a break. I read some sentences/paragraphs several times before it clicks. I also have a lot of DNFs. I may or may not go back to them at some point, who knows? I am a messy reader. 😂
