My Attention Span was 💩 until…

When I went back to school, I realized my attention span was… not what it used to be 😅

So I tried something I remembered from high school English: listening to the audiobook while reading along.

And honestly? It worked.

Social media has been quietly rewiring us for super short bursts of attention, and that spills over into how we read, think, and focus. Reading felt harder than it should have—until I gave my brain a little support instead of judging it.

If focusing has felt harder for you too, try pairing audio + text and see what happens. No shame, just tools.

Because of this, I’ll also be publishing audio versions of my essays on my website and YouTube—for anyone who learns better by listening, or wants to read along.

And I know buying both an audiobook and a physical copy can be expensive and not accessible to everyone—this is where your public library really comes through. Libraries often have both formats (and apps!) for free 💛
