I read aloud so I can focus and sometimes I pace around while I read. You can try this and see if it helps. Oh, I also suggest using apps that read texts aloud if you think you really can't focus by reading.

I handle a type of transactional work that has minimal legal reading and writing.
Elder law. Lots of phone calls, less written work (aside from emails).
i hyper-focus because i love reading 😂😬
yes! it’s gotten worse over the years— or maybe i started noticing my attention has lapsed because I’m more in tune with my mind. But yes, reading on meds is significantly better
I suck at focusing. I got tangled up with this law shit before I realized that I would literally be reading for a living. I f-ing hate reading. I’ve probably only read 5 books in my entire life that I wasn’t forced to read. 😂 I also hate my life because big law ruined it.
Try making a to-do list and also plan your breaks. You can use a rule of 30 minutes focus and 15 minutes break.
Hyperfocusing is my best friend! It's helpful for actually getting to work but it's a hassle to break out of it when my mind chooses to fixate on procrastinating. Try reading aloud and giving yourself a little treat every few paragraphs.
Highlight while I read, take notes in margins, take breaks
I can count on one hand the number of books I have read cover to cover while sitting down. So impossible for me. I am a well-read person because I listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and have a textbook reader that converts text to audio. If something is truly only available in written format, I turn on an ADHD hyperfocus playlist on spotify and time myself to get the dopamine rush.
I was going to say that i have an entire library, and i’ve read 30 pages of each book 😂 because i keep buying them instead of finishing the ones I have already
