If I'm looking to process a reading queue, I'll do a lot of skimming, most writing contains lots of fluff and very little substance. I look for the main idea and some supporting context, think about them briefly, make some conclusions, and move on. Only if the text is exceptionally well-written will I slow it down and really dig into what the writer was trying to convey. It's like a conversation. Some are really worth paying attention to and experiencing, most unfortunately are not, just perform your social duty and then go find something more interesting to do.
