Reading to Remember

Apr 27, 2006 13:14

So I think I have/am in the process of developing some sort of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder and/or memory problems. I used to read all the time and now I can't keep focus long enough to read more than a couple pages. I also have a lot of problems absorbing/remembering what i've read. Reading used to play a big part in my life but now I can't ( Read more... )

memory, reading

In all likelyhood, it is stress and sleep deprivation if you haven't been sleeping well. You may also be consuming too much caffeine.

hmmm, i remember you bringing this up before so i definitely know it's something that's not new...but honestly, when you talk to me, i hardly ever see instances of it.

then again, maybe it has to do with the fact that i'm in taiwan and we mostly talk via a screen...which you can retrieve the history of a convo pretty easily...

...you used to to forget to come hang out with me?? like 10+ years ago...
i've been finding it hard to read lately too, i'm soo easily distracted. i think for me it's a lot due to stress and my mind is in 10 different places at once. i try to get around it by reading when i am most relaxed, with no distraction whatsoever (alone, no music/tv on, cats not around,etc)
