I have a long list of books to plow through, covering how-to guides, textbooks and language materials and purely academic works like history. A weird thing and a real impediment which, on thinking, has been bugging me most of this year, is that i find it unbelievably hard to get through a book, unless, strangely enough, it happens to be fiction.
If i pick up a book on project management, or learning a new skill, or on some essayist, often I can barely manage a few pages before dropping it and wanting to pick up a novel or my iPod or fuck around on youtube. If i finish any of these books, i barely remember anything I covered. I don't know what lead to this but I'd really like to change it
I've been fairly inactive for a while, and when jobhunting, i drank a LOT of instant coffee and didn't always eat incredibly well; I guess these are factors that have a negative effect, and I'm putting them right gradually, but is there anything else I can do to improve my learning?
