Maybe try a more iterative approach to your learning? Try to skim a chapter and then start on the practice problems. When you get stuck go back to the chapter and find the relevant passage.

It might not be as efficient as reading the chapter all at once but I think you'll feel like you're making continual progress by tackling the practice problems sooner.

As someone who has an extremely low attention span I've found that continual progress is the key to sticking with something. This is also why I try to only learn one thing at a time since you progress much faster than trying to learn multiple things at once.
