> I subscribe to the belief that if an article is not worth reading 2 weeks later, it's not worth reading at all. I realized that I had been spending upwards of two hours a day reading non-programming articles (the liked of Wired, TechCrunch, ATD, etc.) and then also spending the evening wondering where all my time had gone. I started shunning all those articles (I keep reading HN and programming articles in general because I think they're much more valuable to my future) and started spending two hours in the evening reading books (currently trudging through The Brothers Karamazov) instead. After two weeks, it feels like I'm giving my brain a nice chicken caesar salad instead of a Big Mac.
