I've been a fairly voracious reader but over the last 4-5 years, I've noticed that I skim-read a lot (which has apparently become the norm - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/25/skim-reading-new-normal-maryanne-wolf) thanks to technology. But over time I realize that I don't pay that much attention to important pieces of information that need deeper and a more conscious effort in reading. As a result, I tend to not retain much of what I read unless I write it down.So, how do I make a conscious effort in slowing down and reading so as to improve my retention.
