I reduce the amount of stuff I read and spend a lot more time contemplating. If I happen to binging on a given day, I’m forgiving myself for not remembering 300 pages of new information and I’m just trying to enjoy. If I read a technical book, I work more toward familiarization than memorization — I can just look back at the book or Google for reference. When I was younger, I was able to memorize *. I can’t do that now, perhaps due to age, or because of experience. Now, I work toward mastery of the absolute basic fundamentals, and rely on looking up everything else.
