How long are the typical longest things you read in one sitting (not counting outliers like staying up 2 nights in a row to finish a harry potter)? For things longer than that, how do you break up the reading? Chapter a day? Rotate among books? Several heavy-lift days in a row?

Try to never skim read. If I can’t read it in one sitting (20 minutes is normal - 90 minutes with premeditation and effort) then just break it down by time. I read as long as I read and then stop. Try not to read more than 1 or 2 things at once.

I have occasionally shot through an entire pop business/econ/psychology book in one sitting, but this is rare and reflective of content shallowness. More often one chapter per day - that’s how I disciplined myself to chew through Russell’s History of Western Philosophy.
