Subway reading

On December 13, 2009, in Uncategorized, by graham

Over the last month I have been reading Prmodoro Technique Illustrated a fascinating book detailing a technique to apply real focus to problem solving and work in general. One problem I have with almost any kind of reading is finding the time to actually read. But this book is nicely split up into bite-sized chapters which can be read on short journeys. I have taken to downloading books to Stanza an iPhone application which accepts epub format documents. The transfer is a little fiddly but once a URL to the book download is entered Stanza takes care of the download.

This reading method is working well for me at the moment. I just can’t travel with a large collection of books weighing me down. But I always have my phone with me for a little ad-hoc reading.

    Glad to hear that you are finding it interesting. Must admit I have not bee applying it that often – but see real focus benefits when I do.
