Your parents shouldve disciplined you as a child. it too late now

We have this thread every fucking shitty day. I recommend that you kill yourself and never post here again once you're floating in afterlife.

I experience the same.
I think it is mostly determined by your ability to concentrate, which derives from proper sleep, nutrition, and a clear mind unfogged by rumination or worry about the future.

So overall it can be improved by Having A Good Character and Living A Good Life.

Although I'm currently reading the book "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha" in which concentration practices are described, I wonder whether they could help.

Then don't respond dude. And I'm well aware that there probably isnt some magical Good Reader button to solve my problems. I'm just curious what helps. Is it a matter of pacing yourself? Taking better notes? What?

Why don't you two go fuck yourself in your own thread instead of shitting up this one? Do you have such a negative view of yourself and the world that you need to bring your negativity for no good reason everywhere?

take a break every twenty minutes or so for ten minutes just to think about what you've read. Let your minder wander about the material and come back when you feel refreshed but not too long of a break either

Useless post as usual on /lit/.

with philosophy or non fiction sit down at a table with a notebook and take note of anything you find to be particularly important

it'll help you stay more engaged with the text

There is. Stop going to the internet. It is literally a machine that destroys your attention span by bringing unlimited entertainment. If you don't lower your attention span under 8 seconds, you will miss out alot on the internet

Also a good idea. I'm usually either laying down when I read or at least partially reclined. >>9568624

I hear this a lot, but surely there's a way to balance delayed gratification hobbies with something like the internet. I think it might just take a bit of conscious discipline ya know?

>brainlet mode: just continue reading until you are bored, flying over passages from time to time, important bits will be concluded from the future context
>comfy mode: make a small break after each other chapter and superficially reflect your emotions and thoughts during the chapter
>advanced mode: recap everything that happened during the chapter and think conciously how the author decided to convey every point
>i want to be an author mode: analyize the whole chapter in depth, taking notes to potentially adapt techniques or avoid chlichees for your own writing

>>9568673

>Stop going to the internet.
