125 - You Don’t Struggle With Reading. You've Been Told How To Read Wrong

Reading doesn’t fail people with ADHD. Bad design does.

In this episode of the Health-Powered Productivity™ Podcast, Marcey Rader dismantles the idea that reading requires stillness, discipline, or long, uninterrupted blocks of time. Instead, she shows how to design a reading habit that works with an ADHD brain, not against it.

Why it Matters

• Shame kills consistency.
• Most reading advice assumes a neurotypical brain.
• Reading is an input system. Systems can be redesigned.

What You’ll Learn

• Why shrinking the entry point makes reading sustainable
• Pages vs. minutes and which one actually builds focus and why to try both ways
• How movement improves attention while reading
• Why you don’t need to finish books for them to be valuable
• A simple 10-minute ADHD-friendly reading ritual
