I read a lot, make way too many dumb jokes, and occasionally do some journalism.
I sometimes do the same thing! I've read several books while walking laps around my kitchen. Whatever works!

There is no trick. It just takes dedication. Attention spans build up like a muscle: exercise it and it will strengthen.

I have insane ADHD and I used to spend up to 15 hours a day online. Now I spend maybe 30 minutes online and read 100+ books a year.

The solution isn't easy, but it is simple.

I'm working on an article about this very subject, so I won't go into too many details now. But, to summarise:

1. Yes, it sucks when you used to read a lot and now because of attention deficit issues you can't.

2. You can fix this by putting your phone in another room and sitting down to read.

Everybody in the comments posting quips about Trump like there hasn't been a boycott in support of Palestine for over a year 🤔 That hasn't stopped, guys.

Ah yes, the good old days of [checks notes] waiting to launch nuclear war and bombing Vietnamese civilians.

It's been this way for decades. This author needs to wake up. He hasn't fought a decent war in his life. There's no such thing.
