I want to read but my attention span is shot

I used to read 1-2 books a day. But as I grew older I got addicted to short form entertainment. Tiktoks, summaries. I'm ashamed to admit, even the occasional AI. I read Ao3, which can be good but they're generally chapter by chapter. I only read 10 or so actual books in 2025.

I have two books I'm reading now. I get through maybe 5 chapters a day, every week or so. My attention wanders.

I feel frustrated. I want to be a reader. A writer. But I find it hard to read books I'm not fully interested in, and there are a lot fewer of those.

Has anyone felt the same?
