I agree with this idea.  A collection of short stories or a novelette could be less overwhelming and not a full-length novel. If you like crime fiction, James Patterson's "Bookshots" series of novelettes might appeal to you. They are about 120 pages or less. I've read a lot of them, and I could read them in one sitting but I broke it up into an hour at a time. They are very fast-paced and action/suspense packed.
Novelettes are longer than short stories but still quite short compared to a novella or novel!
Certain genres might help. I've sort of gotten my concentration back by reading fantasy/horror/sci-fi. They take me into another world, which I need since this world is going insane and is very scary to me now.
