I can read an entire page, or even just a paragraph and needing to read it again to actually “register” it. Sometimes even multiple times!

I feel like there’s something I should be doing to improve this, any ideas? I do have ADHD if that matters.

Because while I can eventually read through, it feels kinda bad? To have lapses in your reading session where you basically didn’t read sometimes…

    I have ADHD! What works for me is summarizing every couple of paragraphs or each important point in a line or two in a note app I have. I have notes for every major article or book I read (except for fiction), which helps me retain that information too.

      I’ve done something similar by taking a picture of some important point in the text. This has turned out to be a fantastic way to be baffled years later why on earth there is a boat load of random pictures of text hogging up space on phone!

      I shall try your method.
