Thank you for this! I totally agree. I’m a nerd that will look up words when I don’t understand something in hopes to also enhance vocabulary. And then I hear of people listening to books and podcasts at 2x or even reading 2 books a week. I don’t know how they remember anything but maybe in fact they don’t? It’s doing things to get done not to make any lasting change. Skimming has its own place but dedicated time to actually read is important for our brains.
