We are living in the age of distraction. With so many things vying for our attention — smartphones, social media, email, work — it can be difficult to get the most from reading. The key to getting the most from reading is to make it a habit. And you need to make it a priority in your life. Another key is to find a type of reading that interests you. If you’re not interested in what you’re reading, you won’t retain as much information. It’s also important to choose a type of reading that you can get comfortable with.

In this article, I’ll discuss some tips for getting the most from reading in the age of distraction.
