Instapaper

I’m less disciplined when it comes to internet reading, but I’m working on it. Most people find avoiding getting distracted by reading harder when it comes to the internet than they do with physical reading, mainly because headline writers and site designers are constantly using analytics and feedback to learn everything they can about your attention habits to keep you ‘hooked’ on their sites. And of course information is available more seamlessly than with books or magazines, so it’s easier to keep exploring, either unaware of or blissfully ignoring what you’re supposed to be doing. To deal with this, I use an app called Instapaper, which is on my iPad. Then, on my web browser, I have an extension for Instapaper, which bookmarks the articles that I want to read and then sends them to my iPad’s app. So it means that I can get halfway through something that looks useful, realize I’m getting distracted from whatever else I was supposed to be doing and then have a way to save that reading for later. Without that app (or something similar) in place, it’s so easy to think, ‘if I don’t read this now, I’ll lose it forever’ or, ‘I’ll forget to come back to it’, so having a system set up to store reading material helps to solve the problem. Also, it serves to make it a more pleasurable experience because I end up reading it on a tablet screen on my sofa, rather than sitting at my desk reading from a computer screen.
