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?

I fly an average of 2 airplane flights over 8 hours per month. Get it all in there.

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.

30-60 minutes of book-only reading time in the morning. Then online+books opportunistically. 80% of the time working on just one book.

I text-to-speech (TTS) myself whatever I can fit in in a car ride.

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.
