I notice that this all makes perfect sense but that I don’t expect to use it that much.
Which I think is more of a failure of my part to set up my life such that I can be using my “deliberate effort” brain while reading. I mostly do reading in the evening when I’m tired (where the base-situation was “using facebook or something”, and I was trying to at least get extra value out of my dead brain state)
Currently my “deliberate effort” hours go into coding, and writing. This seems probably bad, but it feels like a significant sacrifice to do less of either. Mrr.
Note this this mostly doesn’t feel like deliberate effort anymore now that it’s a habit for me. It took maybe 3 months of it being deliberate effort, but now my mind just automatically notices something important while I’m learning and asks “what is this related to?”
I haven’t checked if reading is more tiring than before, but I also haven’t noticed anything to that effect.
That all makes sense – once the habit is ingrained I wouldn’t expect it to be deliberate effort per se (but, would still require me to make time for this that isn’t ‘right before I go to sleep while lying in bed’)
