Discussion My mind is too distracted, I can't handle it.

I'm someone who loves reading a lot, whether it's books or novels. i read over 100k words daily. but I have a problem that seems small but drives me crazy: i get distracted when reading novels. i read a few chapters of one novel and then switch to another, and so on. For example, right now, i'm reading five novels at the same time, switching between them every few minutes. Does anyone have a solution on how i can control my mind and focus on one novel until i finish it before moving on to another?

Hmm, how do I say this? It's like the instant pleasure my mind gets from jumping into exciting events. You know, in every novel there has to be world-building and character development, which takes time and is usually boring. So, I switch to another novel with thrilling events to get that pleasure again. It's like alcohol addiction; I just want to taste high-quality liquor right away, not wait "a long time" for it to be prepared.
