Dunno why you're being downvoted. Practising reading is probably one of the best things I've done for my attention recently. I've gone from being so unable to sit still in a one hour reading session that I read only 4 pages, to mostly being able to sit still and read around 30 pages. And yeah I started with a book I was hyper-engaged in, then joined a book club and read what's assigned to me, and I'm working up to reading harder things. This is a much cheaper way to train your attention than an overpriced shitty videogame. Though playing super hard video games like Dark Souls type and forcing myself to persevere also can be a good excercise for me.
