Relearning to Read - a quick-start method

Trying to regain your ability to concentrate on longer-form reading? Here's one way to approach it:

1. Start by reading the shortest length that causes you challenges. That might be this paragraph! Or a page, short article, chapter.
2. Don't assume that medication, chronic pain, or illness means you can't improve concentration. You can improve. Don't expect to read a complex novel right away (or possibly at all), but you can still improve.
3. Read that same short length without interrupting yourself daily for at least a week before you ask yourself to try something longer. 3-6 weeks is even better.
4. Applaud your own progress. No shame in this being challenging. Like our muscles, concentration requires exercise.
