I deleted the bird app off phone and deleted my shitposting account and it’s freed up so much time, I’ve started reading again.
It was sorta reading before, but then I started just getting better at it when my attention wasn’t being stolen. I challenged myself to finishing a book in 4 days while taking notes and it was honestly really fun and I was really pumped when I finished.
It’s a skill but also a muscle if that makes sense. I don’t think adhd inherently makes reading harder, but it definitely makes it harder to get into the groove.
It happens to me every time I pick up a book. If you can hold your focus for a page or two, then it starts to flow. Once you have the flow, as long as you’re not in a very distracting place, its smooth sailing.
