I find that the kind of people who are &quot;squeezed for time&quot; are always &quot;squeezed for time&quot;. You make time for the things you need to make time for, just like everyone else.<p>That nonsense aside, I was doing what you&#x27;re doing until I learned an important lesson. I found that I will not gain anything of value by reading quickly and inattentively. If I am spending my time skimming articles, forum posts, stack overflow, without doing something like taking notes, I&#x27;m just teaching my brain that most information is useless to me. The sooner I learned that lesson, the sooner I was back to reading books.
