I suffer from the same thing. I recently opened a text editor, copied all the URLs, and closed the tabs.

Some of the tabs were PDFs so I downloaded them and saved them. There were 89, averaging about 20 pages (some were books). Rounding up to 90, that's about 1800 pages. I read about 33 pages an hour (yeah, I did measure it), that turns out to be 1800 / 30 or 60 hours of reading, ignoring the other tabs. I need to hire people to read for me.



I can't imagine how many pages of reading I have open, definitely too much. A reading service just telling you the highlights or what's worth reading would be nice....I guess in academia they call that gradstudents :-)
