Now, that's a lot of books. I'm sure it'll be great to procrastinate on those.

Just today Sebastian Marshall sent his weekly newsletter[1] about targeted procrastination. Here's how it could be adapted for reading some of these books:

- Write down two or three topics that you're interested in.

- Do a search for books that match those subjects, and write them down.

- When you feel like taking a break, pick one book from the list, and start reading.

I like this approach because I easily get tired from reading a book for a long time, but it's easy to do it in 10-15 minute chunks.

I'm not the type that reads lots of books anymore, but I prefer that over lurking on Facebook or Twitter.
