		CoastalCoder 3 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I quit. The clankers won For the first time in quite a while, I've started reading a challenging, non-computer book ("The New Testament in its World"). I'm trying to decide if my attention span has atrophied, or if I'm just more aware now of my ADD. Either way, I'm hopeful that my attention span for this kind of reading will grow with practice.

I too have noticed my attention span having atrophied. It was pre-AI, at least for me. Post-internet, though.

I think browser tabs and screen (the terminal multiplexer) did it for me.

If you you haven't read a book in a while, I noticed it's like a thing you need to practice.
