How can I read without losing focus to improve my reading comprehension? I am stuck on page 50-100 on several books because I can't focus. This has always been a plight of mine where I read something then lose focus and give up because it. I'm pretty sure it's due to be a coomer and very online, my brain is fried. What do?

Read shorter books, short stories.

I would also like to know. I have struggled with this a bit. Usually I just have to force myself to keep going, little bit by little bit. Sometimes though it's just the book itself, and I have to try something else. Maybe try audiobooks while doing menial tasks, I've found that works sometimes, but depends heavily on the narrator.

Is this a meme or does it actually work
Can anyone verify? Seems like just a placebo. Can't be worth the money.

OP here, I just take vitamins, I think it's the high stimulation from online activities that just destroys my focus. The solution is lessening that to a degree i guess..

I have personally done a lot of them. Some of them are good, some of them are shit. Some of the good ones from my experience are modafinil, L-theanine, and phenylpiracetam. Phenibut is good for anxiety, but isn't really nootropic.
