I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s because you&#x27;re squeezed for time, but more that you&#x27;re sense of time has changed.<p>You&#x27;re probably used to extracting information you want in a very short period of time via sites like StackOverflow or Wikipedia or whatever. If you&#x27;re like me, when you encounter something that isn&#x27;t going to give you the gold quickly, you probably move on to something that will.<p>You&#x27;re used to the quick turnaround, so when something takes longer it makes you feel like you&#x27;re squeezed for time.<p>For example, I have plenty of physical programming books. A lot of the time I know that the answer I seek is in one of those books. Sometimes I even know which book and the location in that book. But guess what? I still go to StackOverflow first because it&#x27;s quicker and someone will have already summarized the book. I&#x27;m so used to getting information quickly, that actually having to look for it is unthinkable. It _feels_ like I don&#x27;t have enough time to read the book myself, but that&#x27;s really not true at all.
