How do I stop being such an ADD faggot?

>mfw I read about 20-30 pages a day

But that's just me being a phone-addicted faggot, Would second OP on his question.

go on excel, make a graph with date on x axis and hours of reading on y axis. As the days go on, record how much you're reading per day (in hours) and get an idea as to how well you're doing. If you're neet, 8 hours is ideal. if you are in employment of some kind, 9 to 5, then 2 to 4 hours

and if you do work 9 to 5, then 80 pages, assuming ~45 pages an hour, isn't too bad.

If you're not doing as well as you could be, then just try to increase over time and use the excel chart as a guide as to if you're doing good or bad - remember progress becomes easier over time

the most important thing is self discipline and there is not easy fix for that, it has to come from within.

I worry that I'm not reading well rather than enough. I tear through books but don't really retain anything and miss most of the subtext.

The do this same thing to figure out how much time you wasted on fucking excel when the real solution is simple: if you're not reading, and you have nothing important to do that would prevent you from doing so, pick up a fucking book and read. If you really need to, put your phone/laptop in another room. If you can't do this, it's not important to you.

desu how quickly you read something rarely corresponds directly to your comprehension of it. The point is to enjoy reading. When you're overworking yourself, you're not *in* the text.

isn't it more reliable to measure on wpm?

same

I can't read more than a chapter or two a day because the only time I get to myself are when my parents are asleep.

I know where you're coming from. The books I've settled down and read in 2-3 days are hard to remember, but the books I've spent a month or more on I remember in much more detail.

I understand you, user. Always a small task that kills your concentration, right?

I'm not ADD, user. It's just that my every waking hour is spent in the company of others.

you misunderstood the reason for using excel

it takes no time, it is useful for time management

Just because you're some high schooler who started reading camus on the weekend doesn't mean reading is important to you, faggot, nor that you in any way understand literature

>if you have some free time, pick up a book and read it

If that is literally all you do, without writing thoughts on what you read and preemptively devoting time to it, then you are either a NEET or a moron, probably both. You have to get into a rhythm of reading for multiple hours, not just here and there grabbing a page.

I read whole books at a time, I dislike having to read books bit by bit. I love the feeling of my thoughts just becoming a stream of consciousness.

I love this feeling as well, but I rarely get time to read a whole book at a time. Usually if I'm on holiday, camping somewhere, I find myself reading two books a day, all in one go and it's heavenly.

ADD is a sign your creativity is still functioning properly. Learn how to work with it instead of trying to stamp it out. Multiple 30 minute sessions spread out over the course of the day would be my suggestion.

That's 60-80 more pages a day than what most people read. I'd say if you have a full time commitment going on right now, you're actually doing pretty good.

You could just be baiting actually. Idk anymore.

>he can't read 500 pages a day
Cuck

This. Nobody is meant to be able to sit still and do mind-numbing schoolwork for hours on end, non-ADDs are the defective ones.

>tfw reading 5 pages of philosophy a day while thinking deeply and critically about every line
>tfw quality over quantity

Me too lad, but my reason is being a porn addicted dingus.
