How I read so much

I've been asked by a few colleagues how I manage to read so much, so I thought I'd just write this up once so I can link to it later. :~)

I can’t say I follow these exact principles – among other things, I’m definitely less diligent about some of my reading than what they outline. But that’s a conscious choice in many (but not all) cases.
