As an ADHD I just skim through this I see the write down 'The One Thing' part I'm not sure if it will work well, but most of these rituals don't work for me usually.
But what did really work for me:
1. Read the book as soon as I just found it and was interested in it. If it is short I would finish it directly. If it is long I'll eventually fail halfway and it's okay.
2. Top-down reading. Skim through books quickly, multiple rounds, each round goes deeper. In this way, I can stop anytime and still get some insights, instead of stuck in chapter 2 failed and time wasted. I can also always come back later.
3. No additional overheads, no notes, no plan, no to-do lists, or write down 'The One Things'. Try to use the brain instead of tools, tools usually give me leading I hate everything and gave up earlier. Also, practice this way you'll also find brains are better than people perceive them - people used to recite phone numbers.
4. Read when I feel like, at least don't read the same book when I started to struggle - try switch to another book, or else just go out and do anything you want.
In essence: 1) read when you feel like 2) read incrementally so you can stop anytime 3) avoid negative feedback loop
