Sustained Reading Without Phone Distraction

Read a book chapter start to finish without looking at your phone, and deliberately redirect focus when it wanders; discussed as a simple practice to keep working memory and cognitive function online and possibly strengthen it.

1 / 1

I love the idea that through simple practices, like forcing oneself to read a book chapter, start to finish without looking at one's phone, even if it takes twice as long as one would like, redirecting one's focus when one focus moves away is a way of keeping working memory and cognitive function online, maybe even strengthening it, as you said, optimizing it.
