Tips to read Surah Al-Baqarah faster while keeping focus

Assalamu alaykum! I just wanted to share a small tip that helped me so much. Reading Surah Al-Baqarah daily is truly life-changing, no exaggeration, it brings so many blessings. But I used to struggle-it took me almost an hour, and after some days my recitation felt robotic and I couldn't focus anymore. Then I tried this: find a fast recitation on YouTube (pick a 30 or 40 minute one you like), download it to avoid ads, and listen with one earbud while reading along from the mushaf. Try to recite a bit loudly if that helps; I feel it's easier to breathe and concentrate that way. Don't worry about others around you. So now I can finish it in just 30-40 minutes with better tajweed and khushoo’. May Allah make it easy for all of us and accept our recitation, ameen.
