I've been asked by a few colleagues how I manage to read so much, so I thought I'd just write this up once so I can link to it later. :~)

First, here are a few articles that touch on some of the keys to how I read so much and how I make sure I remember the important bits:

I can’t say I follow these exact principles – among other things, I’m definitely less diligent about some of my reading than what they outline. But that’s a conscious choice in many (but not all) cases.

	function launchAppOnHotkey(modifiers, key, appName)
	hs.hotkey.bind(modifiers, key, function()
	local app = hs.application.find(appName)
	if app == nil then
	hs.application.launchOrFocus(appName)
	elseif app:isFrontmost() then
	app:hide()
	else
	local win = app:mainWindow()
	spaces.moveWindowToSpace(win:id(), spaces.activeSpaceOnScreen())

	local wezterm = require("wezterm")

	local config = {}
	config.automatically_reload_config = true
	config.enable_tab_bar = false
	config.window_close_confirmation = "NeverPrompt"
	config.window_decorations = "RESIZE"
	-- config.default_cursor_style = "BlinkingBar"
	config.color_scheme = "Nord (Gogh)"
	-- config.font = wezterm.font("FiraCode Nerd Font Mono")

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	set -euo pipefail
	shopt -s inherit_errexit
