I wouldn't hold myself up as an example to follow, but I tend to go in cycles ... spending some time obsessively skim-reading lots of technical writing (to the detriment of my wife and children) ... then bashing away at work and trying to calm my stress enough to be productive (also to the detriment of my wife and children) ... then spending some time in an exhausted stupor, then waking up and beginning the cycle again. It's not a very organised life, but I do manage to get some things done (although not as much as I should/could/might).
- RobertKerans 12y agoThis is what I do, spurts of alternating heavy technical reading and heavy work, but it absolutely wipes me out (at the minute, I'd say 7-10 days a month I feel zombie-like), and i know it really pisses off my SO. It works; i absorb large amounts of information very rapidly, and i can apply that information usefully, but I feel similar to how the original questioner described their situation - the sheer amount of information often feels like a flood that's impossible to filter, especially when I'm weary.
