I have become so used to snacking on content, that a full book or a long-running show terrifies me in terms of time commitment. I have books on my Kindle, that i have never even opened, and I have shows that I haven&#8217;t managed to go past the trailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I buy the book or put the show on my list, but I never get actually around to it. It isn&#8217;t that I am not reading or watching, it is just that i am not doing either in a structured manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way of looking at it is to say that leisure cannot be structured. But, the other way is understanding that as your life gets more packed with conflicting priorities &#8211; including a full night&#8217;s sleep &#8211; unless I earmark time for watching or reading, it will never take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second thing that is important to have is a choice of things to watch and read. Just because I read something from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3a1KRHM\">Sapiens <\/a><\/strong>yesterday, doesn&#8217;t mean I want to read it today. Maybe today I am in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/Raymond-Chandler-MEGAPACK\u00ae-Clasic-Mysteries-ebook\/dp\/B00UO1LA9U\/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Raymond+chandler&amp;qid=1578833602&amp;sr=8-6\">Raymond Chandler<\/a><\/strong> mode. Same with viewing. At the same time, I do not want to be confronted with the tyranny of choosing between 300+ unread titles, or 3000+ unwatched shows. I am therefore using my top 10 slots almost to curate my interests for now and have reading\/viewing for every mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, the final thing, I don&#8217;t have to finish anything at one go. I can snack my way through the book or the show\/film. Currently, I am watching the Titans in 15-minute chunks, and not everyday. I don&#8217;t think I can commit to more time than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/everything-i-knew-about-reading-was-wrong-bde7e57fbfdc\">This piece on reading<\/a><\/strong>, that someone on twitter kindly shared, tells me that I am not the only person going through this &#8211; &#8220;I cannot finish a book&#8217; trauma. Maybe this way of diversifying my reading will help me read more. I am missing reading, but I am simply not able to get back to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So right now this is my reading list &#8211; I am reading all of them. Some physical copies, the other on the kindle &#8211; and since new year this has been working out quite well. I manage a chapter of two books each day, and it is strangely satisfying. I am not in a hurry to finish anything. I am happy to go with the flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Books<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Nhzz8D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41X8OYTbLZL._SX324_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Nhzz8D\">Yuval Harari  <\/a>&#8211; Sapiens &#8211; this is one book that i started and stopped about half a dozen times.
