Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow” into “soul time.” You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too—providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.
说来可能令人奇怪，那就是要安排固定的阅读时间。你或许觉得这样会助长效率至上的思维倾向，但事实上，埃伯利指出，这样的惯性阅读行为有助于我们“走出时间流”并进入“灵魂时间”。你可以只读纸质书或者在专用的电子阅读器上阅读，以此减少让你分心的事物。“书不离身”实际上也能起到作用―前提是你能够经常沉浸其中，让阅读成为一种“默认（习惯）状态”，你只是从中暂时抽身处理些事务，然后再重新浸入阅读中。在真正美好的一天：它不再让你觉得是“抽时间阅读”，而是就在阅读，并在阅读时挤出时间做其他的事。
