Struggling to rebuild my reading habit, stuck at 10 minutes
Hi everyone,
I used to read books every day before I started working, and it was a strong habit for me. But once I began my job, I found it really hard to make time. Even when I did have time, I often felt too tired to read, and over time I completely lost the habit. A few months ago, I quit my job and have been trying to build that habit again. I’ve been consistent in starting, but I can only stay focused for about 10 minutes before I lose interest. I’m not sure why this is happening, especially since I used to enjoy reading for long periods before. I’m wondering if it’s a focus issue, habit issue, or something else.
So far, I’ve tried, Reading at different times of the day nd Picking books I’m interested in
But I still can’t go beyond 10 minutes.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you rebuild your reading interest and consistency?
Thanks in Advance.
