Good stuff. One thing you are missing though. I like to measure my reading by quality too.
I simply keep a manual tally counter by my side while reading and every time I catch myself reading mindlessly or my mind drifting away, I count one distraction. Similar to some forms of meditation.
Ultimately, you want to bring up the quality by minimizing the number of distractions per unit of time.
The good thing about it is that you actually build up your focus and concentration "muscle" (in prefrontal cortex) as opposed to amping up the volume alone.
I too got inspired by gym :)
- cflynnus 6y agoThat sounds like a good idea, currently when "zoning out" or getting distracted I don't record it I just try to jump back. For quality, the best thing I've come up with is making spaced-repetition flashcards w/ Anki. My confidence is higher that I've actually retained the information.
