guys, how do you increase your attention span? I always feel myself losing focus while I'm reading. I was just trying to read steppenwolfe and I only got past like one page and no matter how hard I force myself to read, it's just like my brain gets all pouty and it just refuses to go any further. When I first pick up the book though I read really fast and it's no big deal. I don't know why all of a sudden I just become unable to focus and it feels like a chore all of a sudden. I feel the same way when I'm doing homework to be honest (which is probably why I got less than a 2.0 grade point average.
