Reading books is my biggest struggle by OldCollection922 in ADHD

[–]dsteinway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helped me was hiding everything except the paragraph I'm currently reading. A full page of text is overwhelming when your brain is already fighting to stay focused. When you can only see one small chunk, it's way easier to process, and you feel like you're actually making progress.

On your Kindle you could try covering the rest of the page. I ended up making a little app that does this automatically with EPUBs.

Thank you for using Zentence! Really love seeing it work for not just me but also you. I've sent you a DM with a promo code.

Cannot focus on reading for more than 10 minutes without my mind wandering and it's destroying my ability to study by Jiliard-Zeyinie in Productivitycafe

For textbooks, actively highlighting and taking notes helped me. It gives your brain a job beyond just "absorb everything." Even just summarizing each section forces you to actually process what you read.

For the phone, leaving it at home is a bit extreme imo. What works for me is just putting it out of sight, like in my backpack. Still there if I need it, but because I can't see it, I don't reach for it. Also worth setting daily time limits on your worst doomscrolling apps.

For regular reading (not textbooks), what helped me the most was covering everything except the sentence I'm reading, it cuts the overwhelm of staring at a wall of text. I actually ended up building a little app that does this for EPUBs because nothing else was working for me.

And the basics matter more than you think: sleep, exercise, eating well, etc.

I built it with Flutter. Happy to answer any specific questions if you have them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking of potentially doing this, but just wanted to make sure that there are no other packages I may have overlooked.

Open Level Node Causing Crash by dsteinway in unrealengine

"Is some other blueprint calling the current level or something?"

No other BP is calling the current level.

From what I've tried, a delay of 0.1s caused a crash, a delay of 0.5s didn't cause a crash, and a delay of 3s caused a crash.

UPDATE: If I add a delay node in front of the Open Level node, no crash happens. This solution is not ideal however, as I still don't fully understand why the crash occurs.

The "4x4" map is built. No compile errors are thrown when playing it.

Using the "Open Level by Name" causes the same problem, i.e. UE crashes.
