  You might just be chronically tired or worn down from the stresses of life. It’s pretty common.

  Another thing is as we get older a lot of people will choose more “challenging” adult books and then just be totally bored lol. I read young adult and kids books sometimes (how can I give a book to a child if I haven’t read it myself?) and it’s always surprising to me how they can be ripped through in no time at all.

  But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse. It seems like most things about the mind and body trend that way

    The mind is a muscle. Don’t ignore it. Especially now, if you use your mind you’ll be light-years ahead of ai addicts.

    Maths is a really good example of this.

    At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don’t exercise that sponge…), it becomes lazy.
