    I find audiobooks help a lot for being able to finish books nowadays

    When I was a kid I could just devour books if I was interested in them otherwise it’s was a struggle. Straight up to the point of forgetting to eat and whatnot.

    Audiobooks though allow me to do things while listening which is cool.

    I only got diagnosed with ADHD about 6 months ago as an adult so getting those good habits is still a struggle but way easier with meds as long as I don’t get distracted before they kick in.

      I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or anything but I do struggle to focus on a singular task, I have a sneaking suspicion that I do have something like that. Anyways, I can’t read books because I just can’t focus on them, same with long articles or any long block of text really. I also would recommend audio books, I’ve “read” tons of great books out there that I otherwise would have never touched. I also use TTS to “read” articles I find online.
