I'd like to know how to make a strong reading habit. I used to read many books, but during the last few years, I lost that habit. Now, after all of these social media and online entertainment become available, I need more concentration to read books at a stretch. I still read books but get distracted every 10 or 15 minutes. What can I do to stay on course with reading?

@SusantaC Unfortunately, the only answer is that it's a skill/muscle like any other.

Social media trained our brains for quick dopamine hits.

If you want to retrain for long-form reading, the only way I know of: practice. The more you do it, the easier it gets.

@LouisIngenthron Thank you for your advice. I am trying the same thing.
