      Its like, I read it, absorb nothing and think “what? fuck, I wasnt paying attention huh” the reread it 3-5 times only to find out that paragraph really didnt say anything worth reading and that was why my brain was sending it straight to the trash bin.

    If I absolutely need to remember what I’m reading I write it all by hand. In community college sometimes it was whole textbooks. Stupid brain.

    I fully recommend using multiple sources of stimuli.

    If you have an ebook, use an ebook reader or voice service and follow along. Speechify highlights the current word and sentence, too, which I have found helps keep me zeroed in.

    May not work for everyone, but it works for me.
