Honestly I have not idea why, oh WHY I’m having such a hard time getting my head down and reading.  I find that I read about a quarter or a third of an article, then get distracted by email/cleaning/laundry/phone/internet/to-do lists, go off to do xyz then return and try to pick up where I left off, only to read another bit before getting distracted.  And when I finally do finish what I’ve been reading I have a very vague grasp of what I’ve read.
