Why Is It So Difficult to Pick Up a Book After a Long Reading Slump?

E eLdavis · 1 week ago · 2 replies · 57

Have you ever gone from reading several books in a month to barely finishing a single page? You might still love reading, buy new books, and save recommendations, but whenever you finally sit down to read, you just can't seem to get into it. Somehow, even a hobby you once enjoyed starts feeling like a chore. What was your experience like?

This happens with everything—it’s the same with TV series or video games. It’s very common to find it difficult to pick things back up; you have a life, and hundreds of other things keep happening. The more time that passes, the harder it becomes to return to it—but that’s perfectly normal. You’re in a different environment now, so it’s only natural that, when you try to jump back in after such a long time, you might struggle to get immersed in that world again.

As I grow older, my desire to read reduces. This is highly due to the fact that I now have to juggle two to three jobs so they I can afford to live.

I still read every now and then, but it’s nothing like when I was younger.
