3 Quick Tips for the Frequently Distracted Reader

September 12, 2022

Three Quick Tips for the Frequently Distracted Reader-reading vintage blog

Distractions aren't pleasant, but sadly, we often encounter them in life, particularly in the internet age. There is always something to keep your attention from sitting down to read an excellent book. Do you know how to keep the outside distractions at bay and focus on reading a good book? Keep reading these 3 easy tips that could help.

3 tips to help to overcome distractions while reading:

1. Set your reading location.

Your location is crucial since it affects how quickly you get focused and ready to read. So choose a quiet place, clear this area from distraction, and add a comfy chair to relax and dig into your book

2. Develop a reading routine.

The best way to start is by surrounding yourself with books you want to read. The next step is to read for brief periods throughout the day. Finally, discover new books and sources of inspiration by talking to other regular readers. You will soon enjoy the advantages of entering another person's world through reading.

3. Use Reading Tools.

Read the chapter title summary when you first open a book. Also, read the author's outline in the dust jacket. Use the book as a tool after that. Write in the margins and take notes.

Enjoy your time with a good book.

Take your time, and don't move on until you understand it. With each page, you will feel more grounded if you know the entire journey outlined in the book. 

You can read and reread, break the book into smaller chunks, and take notes. This promotes reading and memory and exercises restraint by stifling the desire to discover what happens next. But, unfortunately, this can drive you to keep reading hastily and hurrying to turn one more page, then another, then just one more!

Don't allow reading to become something you avoid because you are not focused; make it into something you value by observing a few of these recommendations.

If you give reading all your attention, you're sure to learn something from the novel and the fulfillment of achieving your goals. I hope these tips help you focus and read without distractions.

Happy (distraction-free) reading,

Pam of Reading Vintage

What does your bookshelf say about you?

Your reading habits reveal a lot about who you are as a person, but I bet you didn't realize your bookshelf might reveal just as much. A bookcase can show your interests and attention to detail more than an entire bedroom. Learn what your shelves say about you in this article.
