>Can only motivate myself to read a book if I know I can finish it that day
What kind of autism is this? How do I get better at reading longer books over the span of a week/month?

Have you tried using a bookmark?

You could try reading short story collections, anon. Just treat each short story as an individual "book", and then this >>20220168

Do the same thing but for chapters instead of the whole book

Pay money for the book so sunken cost fallacy carries you until you get hooked.

Force yourself to read ONLY smaller segments, obviously the easiest way to start with this is chapters.

>> No.20221457

>>20218733
Just read 2 or 3 chapters then bookmark it then repeat. It's not hard.

Here are the solutions anon:
Read faster
Don’t sleep
Cut the book in half
Travel to west by plane while reading

Using any combination of these you should finish most of the books in one day.

Realize that there are many books that you will never be able to read unless you fix it.
