When I’m in a bad slump I get out my super long reading/studying playlist on YouTube with Lofi, video game soundtracks, classical music, the works. It helps immerse me in the story and actually makes it feel like I’m watching a movie

When I get in a slump I choose a kinda off the wall almost trashy shortish book to read just for pure entertainment. My go to has been the ice planet barbarians series. It takes no brain power and it’s just fun with no in depth understanding necessary

sounds like you need to just sleep when you gotta sleep. audiobooks while doing something idle with your hands (laundry dishes etc) is a great intro though

took me two years of healing my attention span through audiobooks and forced boredom sessions before i could actually pick up a book and finish it
