Hi all. Lately, I’ve found myself having a lot of free time in my hands.
I have been experimenting with reading books so as to spend my time productively, however, I find it really challenging to follow the book.
I would like to believe my attention span is not as horrible as other teenagers my age, as I have abstained from using short-form / addictive social media platforms. Nonetheless, it’s such a difficult endeavour for me to follow the words and sentences on the page.
Most times I read them “blankly”, where I look at the contents of the page passively and somehow do not absorb their meanings or substance.
Other times, when the above mentioned issue doesn’t arise, I find myself immediately forgetting novel concepts discussed in the books within a matter of hours.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I would also be thankful if anyone could share the techniques they utilise to retain the contents of books.
TIA.
