Managing Reading via Preemptive Multireading
Many people ask me how do I manage to read all the books that I have. The trick is to employ Preemptive Multireading similar to Preemptive Multitasking using natural interrupt mechanisms. Here is an example from one of my common daily reading schedules:
-
- Commuting to work from home in the morning: reading a history book.
-
- Working hours: round robin reading of software engineering books and encyclopedias during breaks.
-
- Lunch time: reading one of selected fiction / science fiction / health / food / chemistry / popular science books.
-
- Commuting to home from work in the evening: reading a selected math / physics / popular science book.
-
- Waiting for bus/train: one of selected philosophy / popular science books.
-
- Home: one of selected management / psychology / parenting books.
-
- Walking with my sleeping son on weekends: English language and writing books.
