Tips on how to focus when reading long docs

Ignore title, currently an analyst on the buyside and need some advice on how to effectively read and digest extremely long docs. For example I have about 250 pages of material to get through of CDD & FDD on a deal I’m working on and am really struggling to actually focus and read through it. I’ve always found it easier to digest info when I hear it but I notice when I’m reading very long doc’s I get super bored and just end up “reading/skimming” without really digesting what I’m looking at. Any tips/advice would be super helpful.
