That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: There’s never any time to read.
What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. 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.” But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning —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, “ is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication… It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption.” Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fact,"becoming more efficient"is part of the problem.Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally,judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal .Immersive reading,by contrast,depands on being willing to risk inefficiency,goallessness,even time-wasting.Try to slot it in 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."No mind-set could be worse for losing yourslef in a book
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 ritualistic behavior helps us “step outside time’s flow” into “soul time.” You could limit distractions by reading only physical books,or on single-purpose e-readers,” 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.
31. The usual time management techniques don’t work because
what they can offerdoes not case the modern mind
what people often forget is carrying a book with them
what challenging books demand is repetitive reading
what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
32. The”empty bottles”metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to
update their to-do lists
make passing time fulfilling
carry their plans through
pursue carefree reading
33. Fberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps
promote ritualistic reading
encourage the efficiency mind-set
develop online reading habits
achieve immersive reading
34. “Carry a book with you at all times”can work if
reading becomes your primary business of the day
all the daily business has been promptly dealt with
you are able to drop back to business after reading
time can be evenly split for reading and business
35. The best title for this text could be
How to Enjoy Easy Reading
How to Set Reading Goals
How to Find Time to Read
How to Read Extensively
