- Start by reading the shortest length that causes you challenges. That might be this paragraph! Or a page, short article, chapter.
- 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.
- 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.
- Applaud your own progress. No shame in this being challenging. Like our muscles, concentration requires exercise.
