Management Bits and Tips

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.
