Cannot stress this method enough especially for information heavy books. Listening while reading alo

That’s really interesting. I’ve never tried this but I imagine it would take a bit of practice to sync your reading speed with the audiobook speed, but that could just be me. One thing that has helped me in the past is trying to voice each character distinctly in my head (this is the only way I made it most of the way through Trails in the Sky) but that also slows my reading way down. Which now that I put two and two together probably has something to do with it 😅


This could also just be from ADHD burnout. Many ADHD kids make it through to adulthood by burning up 10 times the energy of our peers. By the time we do get there, our reserves can be absolutely shot. I haven’t made it back to reading books yet but I have found that I can sink into new non-digital hobbies like horticulture. My guess is that it uses a mental energy well that I haven’t tapped yet, at least not completely.


Now try having both at the same time while only being diagnosed for one. What a wonderful childhood that was.
