The kettle is warming, a meeting starts soon, or the bus is still a few stops away. These small gaps rarely look like reading time, but they can hold a paragraph or two without asking the day to rearrange itself.
Start with the time you have
Choose an article with a clear opening and read until the next natural pause, such as the end of a section. That gives the reading a shape, even if you only have a few minutes. There is no need to race through the page to make the time count.
If the article needs more attention than the moment allows, save the title or leave the tab open. The point is not to finish on schedule; it is to make starting feel possible when a quiet stretch does appear.
Leave yourself a way back
When you stop, take a second to notice where you are: the section heading, the last idea that stood out, or simply the paragraph you finished. That small marker can make returning easier than trying to remember the whole thread later.
Let an unfinished page wait
An article does not lose its value because you read it in more than one sitting. Come back when you have room for the next section, or decide that another piece suits the moment better. Reading at your own pace is still reading.
