What tools does Brian D Smith recommend for overcoming reading struggles?

I lean on a few simple, science-backed tools when someone’s struggling with reading or focus:

• Positive Intelligence “PQ reps” – 10–20 second mindfulness exercises, several times a day, to quiet inner critics and boost attention
• Tiny, consistent habits – 5–10 minutes of reading daily instead of big, overwhelming goals
• Audiobooks + print/ebook together – listening while following along
• Gentle self-talk – replacing “I’m bad at this” with “I’m practicing this”

What kind of reading struggle are you running into—focus, comprehension, or just motivation?
