1. are we reading?

Is skimming through an article or a book reading?

I find that in this age of information overload, we have become superficial readers (if that’s even a term), people who claim to read but aren’t reading.

You’re collecting headlines - you’re trying to know a bit about everything - so that you can’t be called out for not knowing what happened yesterday on x forum.

I find myself telling myself that it’s ok to not know and not want to know something about everything.

This brings me to the main thought of my first writing here - how do we cultivate deep reading in such attention deficit times.

Yes, there are books and you can set a clock reminder et all.

But how does one just cut all the noise and not have to deal with it at all.

For me, not being on Instagram and Facebook has helped. I will decide whether I want to give up LinkedIn and/or Twitter as well :)
