I loathe sluggish pace reading where I lose the plot inbetween sessions.

I love binge reading a book but rarely can.
I already read a gazillion emails, documents, specs, and whatnot and the same braincells are often cooked.

Similarly, I just can’t deal with physical jigsaw anymore. Same braincells used in work-related pattern recognition in troubleshooting, that I find it unsatisfying.

Try audio books. I used to not enjoy them but I’ve come around for similar reasons as you described.
