Don’t force yourself to read. And I say that as an intensive reader. Reading should not feel like a chore or something someone has to do. It’s not homework. It needs to remain fun, engaging, and exciting.

I found a pretty interesting web novel and I like to read without forcing myself, but I’m a little bit used to imagining how everything happens without sounds and pictures, which is probably one of the problems. I want to read, but fatigue makes itself felt.

Let reading slowly become a habit, let it become progressively stronger in your activities. It’s a muscle one needs to exercise. Exactly like one would develop any new skill, progressively. No one ever learned to walk by running a marathon ;)

I’ll take note, it’s just that I really liked the web novel that I’m reading now and I want to read more, but it doesn’t work, as I mentioned in the post.

Try to make walking as much of a habit as reading. For me, it’s a great help to reflect more calmly on what I have just read. Thinking about the book you’re reading is at least as important as actually reading it and, sadly, is very often overlooked (books being binge read without much time left in-between to let our brain assimilate them what we just read. That part is so important in my own reading that, no matter the type of book I’m reading, I always read pen in hand to take notes and then re-read those notes/reflections to help me summarize the book and my impressions of it.

I think you are right here, walking really helps, even if not always, for example, it has never saved me from depression, but still thanks to walking I feel a little better.
