I’m not entirely sure what “short-form videos” are. Any video under an hour is insulting to me. Two and a half hours is a much more respectable duration. Short-form are TikToks, right?

In any case, what I recommend is reading novels. Long novels. Or even novelistic universes such as Trollope’s or Balzac’s. These are excellent for focus.

    Yes, short form is TikTok length.

    While I do watch longer videos than that, hours long videos sounds like my personal version of hell.

      I listen to them on long drives and while cooking. Or while cooking after a long drive. 😆😆

        That makes sense. My drives and my cooking are much shorter

    About novels. I got sick of reading non-fiction and decided that the best way to learn about people of any country is to read their best novels. So I searched for the list of the best American novels but all I could find is some leftist garbage (the Atlantic’s list had a book called “I Love Dick”, kid you not). Would you be willing to compile a list of worthy American novels you recommend? I would greatly appreciate it.
