Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep reading the same paragraph three times because halfway through I’m already skimming ahead just to "get through it," and I never let any one chunk land before I’m racing on to the next one.
• I dive straight into the first paragraph and read word by word with no idea where the chapter is heading, so every fact lands as a random new thing instead of fitting anywhere
• I race through spiritual books the way I race through everything
• I race through scripture to cover ground and extract the point, and none of it lands
• The moment I finish the last page I snap the book shut and move on, feeling done
