根据下面资料,回答题
That everyone's too busy these days is a clichr. But one specific complaint is made especiallymournfully: There's never any time to read.
What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don't seem sufficient. The web's full of articles offering tips on making time to read: "Give up TV" or "Carry a bookwith you at all times. " But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutesdoesn't work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning--or elseyou're so exhausted that a challenging book is the last thing you need. "The modern mind", TimParks, a novelist and critic, writes, "is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication ... It is notsimply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption. " Deep reading requiresnot just time, but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fact, "becoming more efficient" is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to bemaximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in sofar as it advances progress toward some goal. Immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it in as a to-do list item and you'll
manage only goal-focused reading--useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. "The futurecomes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt, "writes GaryEberle in his book Sacred Time, and "we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days,hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them. " Nomind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
So what does work?Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think thismight fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us "stepoutside time's flow" into "soul time". You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, oron single-purpose e-readers. "Carry a book with you at all times" can actually work, too--providingyou dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surfaceto take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as ifyou're "making time to read", but just reading, and making time for everything else.
