Now that I’m free, I can see my reading habits change already. Previously, I used to snatch reading time from work time. I optimized that to get maximum experience out of minimal reading time. Because work. And because mental resources are not boundless. I also switched from books to blog posts then—the latter are much easier to digest. But now. Now I can read the heavy stuff. And I can afford the luxury of re-reading a paragraph multiple times, to make sure I got it. This makes for slow reading, but it also makes the experience deeper and more rewarding. I like this new reading thing.
