Books

One of my biggest challenges with reading is focus… you’d think the better the book the more focussed I am but it’s the opposite. The better the book (talking non-fiction) the more it triggers ideas and mental notes in my brain. Suddenly I’m half a page down and I’ve not taken a word in… so back I go! 🙄

The only way I’ve found to deal with this is to have a notepad/mobile/laptop on hand to jot down the idea. It’s like scribbling notes on the pages themselves or a sleep journal by the bed, a way to stop it echoing around my skull so I can keep reading… or sleep!

Me too! It’s not so bad that I can’t read, but non-fiction spurs so many ideas I do often find myself staring into space rather than at the page. One reason I love reading on a Kindle is that I can easily take notes on what I’m reading.

Also makes you search things online which is a great distraction
