From Douglas Wilson
I believe in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen minute spaces. Chip away at it. For example, I have a stack of six books that I am working through most weekday mornings — a page or two of each every time I sit down to read. I do the same thing with writing — if you have time for a little bit, then do a little bit.

My fifth grade reading teacher told us one of the best places to read was while soaking in the bath. See even picked up a book while sitting at a red light for 30 seconds. She insisted every spare moment counted.
Thanks for adding me to the blog roll; I just noticed. I wish every person I’ve ever met could watch this video. See if it lifts you up: http://themasterstable.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/do-you-know-my-king/
I read at red lights too, although it often lasts for more than 30 seconds and I get called vile names. People hate education.
