What's stopping you from trying again? Treat it like working out: schedule 30 minutes per day in which you have to read the book, and you have to try honestly. It doesn't matter if you get distracted and have to start over all the time, just keep trying. After a while, your habits will change and it will come naturally.
I feel this is the way to get better. I have recently tried to start "living in the moment" and not be on my phone all the time. It's not bad. I feel a lot less stress trying to keep up with shit that don't matter and it is something you need to practice to get better at. Just like most things in life.
