[ Reading ]

Unfortunately, putting time aside to read during the workday seems to not be considered ‘productive’ work in many workplaces. And by “reading”, here I’m meaning deep long-form reading, not Twitter posts, or 100-word observations. 

Reading a book or magazine article at your office desk (when we had that) seemed like some skiving off.  Yet we can skim emails and reply to a few in the same timeframe and that’s seen as productivity.

But reading is crucial for knowledge.  To know something takes more than just being exposed to it.  To understand it means including reading long-form content in different contexts.
