If that doesn\u2019t work read the page a second time then pause to really let the words sink in and then think of something you get out of them.  It also helps if its a book you want to read if you are reading a book because you have not because you want you might lose focus. The more you read the easier it will become to focus in the pages.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2949190764\"><div id=\"thefa-1754660587\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Habit building made easy<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Michael T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Get comfy, take some deep breaths, try to turn off distractions. <\/p>\n<p>Then try to enjoy the journey itself and let the words pass over you. Much like with meditation, your mind may wander &#8211; and it\u2019s really ok if it does. Don\u2019t punish yourself for missing a few details, just take another breath, and keep going. I think what you\u2019re looking for is a \u201cflow\u201d state, where you\u2019re swept away. <\/p>\n<p>Good luck !!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Flavie I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on the situation and what you are hoping to achieve.<br \/>\nWhat are your surroundings like? Is it peaceful or noisy?<\/p>\n<p>For recreational reading, I like having some music in the background. Enough to hear it but not enough to get me singing. <\/p>\n<p>For study, I read through once, just read the words, no notes. Then I give myself a break and do something totally different like take a walk, do a chore.<br \/>\nWhen this is done I come back and read it again. This time taking notes. The notes are to be my way of saying it (this is especially helpful in essays where plagiarism is not ok) and only the very important stuff or you can write it all down. <\/p>\n<p>After this second reading, I ask these 4 questions.<br \/>\n1. What is this reading about in one sentence?<br \/>\n2. What resonated with me?<br \/>\n3. What do I want to learn more about?<br \/>\n4. What do I need to get a better understanding of. <\/p>\n<p>Another thing that helps is the Pomodoro technique. 15 mins reading, 5 min break x 3 and then you get a 30 min break. Google it. It\u2019s amazing.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Le Anne N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to quiet the room and also set a timer for 10 minutes. Center yourself and focus on the words. I also like to highlight the statements that stand out to me so I can easily go back and read the important things.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Janique Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Shut your eyes, take a few deep breaths, open your eyes, and start the page again, keeping your focus on the book and the book only. If this happens continuously, it&#39;s possible that book isn&#39;t for you, in which case you should switch. There&#39;s no point in doing something that&#39;s hard and frustrating for no reason.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megan N.
