Anons, I want to get back into reading but the internet has given me the attention span of a gold fish. Best ways to actually stay focused while reading? Was thinking of getting the audible version of a couple books to read along with so I can break out of this goldfish brain. Any tips would be great.

start small: 15-30 minutes a day minimum, work up from there
read in the mornings/before lunch, not at night/before bed
if you have trouble focusing, don't use any electronics (phone, laptop, tv, etc) for 5-10 minutes before you start reading

Also read pic rel; it was basically written for adults who want to get back into reading but dont have a lot of free time and want practical, applicable methods instead of more theoretical mumbo-jumbo; it also has reading lists at the back but you dont have to follow those, at least read the first four chapters though
