So, maybe as a first step it might be useful just to pay attention to how much you read before you get distracted and then notice as quickly as you can that you have got distracted and out your attention back on the reading. So, what you are doing as a "second activity" is paying attention - and this kind of fills up the gaps.
Good luck!
