I notice that once I start reading I really enjoy it, but it’s always a chore to even bring myself to pick up a book. Even ones I’ve already started reading and enjoyed, I find difficult to pick back up. I’m not doing anything useful with my time either, my attention keeps getting hogged by YouTube et al :(
I always keep a book on the John, and will pick it up any time I’m in the room. Gets me through that “first half is dry build” some books have, even if it’s a paragraph at a time.
Other is audiobook+mindless game. I spend a decent chunk of my afternoons when I’m in this mode just playing Peglin or more recently Haste muted while the book goes.
This book on the John I’ve done since childhood, it’s got me through some dense stuff, I’d definitely recommend it. Hope it helps!
