Ok. I’ve been stuck inside a lot this week. I’m getting through my paper book. Hopefully I finish it tomorrow. I often have trouble concentrating but I’m working to her persistent on this. I have two more books queued up so there’s a little pressure.
Reading for pleasure. To see if I still can. To work on concentration. To escape my own thoughts. To increase discipline and learn to ignore distractions
Getting back into reading has been one of the best things that happened to me. It is an amazing hobby once you get into just being able to just lay down and read for a few hours. It took a while but if you fprce yourself enough you will end up making a good habbit of it.
I unwittingly ended up battling my concentration (and disability) as well yesterday as my HPPD was really bad for some reason, and I just could not read. Letters wouldn’t stand still and no retention, had to reread every word like ten times. Expected relaxation, got internal conflict instead lol. Luckily this is the exception these days and not the norm.
It’s a book in the “Howl’s Moving Castle” series called “the house of many ways”. It’s a kids novel so it goes fast. Seeing the read pages stack up is motivating.

That’s awesome! Reading for pleasure or work/school?
