Friends, especially friends in academia who have to read a lot and constantly, how do you make time and space to properly engage in news and long-form journalism? I have managed to establish somewhat of a consistent morning routine. However I am unable to integrate reading the news or just essays.
One problem I run into, i suppose, is that I take time for reading assigned texts. It takes a lot of energy for me to read, make notes and digest them in a way that I can apply them for my assignments. And by the time I am done with my homework I have no energy to spare for any other form of comprehension.
But I still want to carve out some energy and bandwidth for non-academic reading.
