I feel bad about reading Wikipedia summaries of vast histories, quick glosses of big fat books, plot summaries of novels, etc. But increasingly I find it’s the only way to get anything done. Full read=luxury I’d pay for a custom summaries service with my priorities in mind

Within well-formed disciplines that’s actually enough I think since you tend to develop really good triage and thin-slicing instincts and have high situation awareness. Doesn’t work if you’re working in extra-academic mode (which is even worse than mere interdisciplinarity)
