I too read books lovingly, however when I switch to school mode, my reading needs to improve. I am really slow at reading and taking notes. So much so that I am often behind in reading intensive classes.
If anyone has advice, I am desperately in need.
- vuciv1 4y agoThis happened to me too. I went to speak to a school doctor, got diagnosed with ADHD, and started taking adderall when I needed to for class. It’s at least worth a shot. It has been huge for me and many others.
- jason_slack 4y agoThanks. I take 50mg Vyvanse daily now. It helps but I still have trouble keeping up with reading. The class I am in now has on average of 200 pages per week.
- vuciv1 4y agoI also recommend learning to skip the filler words and really get the main points of the text that you’re trying to read. I really tried to read everything in college, but I just couldn’t, and neither did a lot of my peers. I still learned a ton by learning the main ideas, through internet summaries, through discussions with my friends, and discussions in the classroom. Don’t be so hard on yourself and continue to learn :) Good luck!
