Jennifer Dawson+FollowHow I Trained Myself to Read 300 Pages in One Sitting (Without Losing My Mind)I used to be the kind of person who read 15 pages an hour and immediately forgot half of it. Then one day, I got obsessed with the idea: “What if I could read a 300-page book in one go?” Not just skim it — actually read and retain it. So I started experimenting. Here’s what really worked: ✨ 1. I trained my attention span like a muscle. Started with 30 minutes, no breaks. Next time: 40. Then 50. Like running longer distances — slow and steady upgrades. 📵 2. I declared war on distractions. Phone: on airplane mode. Music: white noise only. No multitasking, no social scrolls. 🧠 3. I tackled the biggest distraction — my own thoughts. Meditation helped a lot. Even just 5 minutes of breathwork before reading made a difference. My brain felt quieter. 💡 4. I only picked books I wanted to read. Let’s be honest — forcing yourself through a boring book just burns you out. Read what excites you. 🖍 5. I made reading “active.” I highlight, write notes in the margins, and talk to the book like I’m in a debate. Keeps me locked in. 🚨 Bonus Reality Check: Your body still has limits. Your brain’s ability to absorb info fades over time. If you’re reading to learn, break the book into chunks — then pause to reflect. If you’re reading for joy? Go all in. I once read Goblet of Fire in a single rainy Saturday. Didn’t move except to pee. #StudyTips #DeepFocus #ReadingChallenge #BookLover #ReadMoreBooks #ConcentrationTraining #StudyMotivation #ReadingHabit #SelfImprovement #LearnHowToLearn #MindfulReading #FocusHack #ProductivityTips 10Share
PixelProwess+FollowMake Reading a Daily Joy—Not a Chore!I used to struggle with making reading a habit—until I figured out a few simple tricks! 🙈❤️ Here’s how I made reading something I actually look forward to: • I start small—just 5-10 minutes a day. It’s way less intimidating! • I pick books I’m genuinely excited about. If a book bores me, I ditch it. No guilt! • I always carry a book (or e-reader) with me. Waiting in line? Perfect time to read a page or two. • I created a cozy reading nook with my favorite blanket and snacks. Total vibe! 😅 • I joined a book club for accountability (and fun discussions!). • I keep a running list of books I want to read, so I never run out of options. • I track my progress—seeing how much I’ve read keeps me motivated! Honestly, reading feels less like a chore and more like a treat now. If you want to read more, give these a try.
