How to Find Time to Read?
That everyone’s too busy these days is ordinary. But one specific complaint is made especially sadly：1.
What makes the problem worse is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem efficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times”2.Sit down to read and the work-related thoughts keeps going on and on or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “Most people tend to communicate…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one actually tends to interrupt”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
3.Thinking of time as a resource to be maximized means you approach it on purpose, making any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles(days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”.4.
So what does work？Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such usual behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow” into “soul time”.5.
“Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.
A.How do we make reading easy?
B.There’s never any time to read.
C.In fact, “becoming more efficient” is part of the problem.
D.No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
E.Most people don't pay more attention to physical book reading.
F.You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers.
G.But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work.
