> getting as much as possible done - be as productive as possible

I didn't get this at all as a main thrust of the article.

The author doesn't like re-reading the works that impacted him the most, because he feels he loses some of that impact and takes a step backwards in his enjoyment when he rereads.

I have felt that, at times. Especially when re-reading too soon. I notice new things; I enjoy the world again; but I often look back at the work less fondly after this is done. In the end, we can't just to who we were reading the work for the first time.

I liked reading the article because it helped me understand part of why I often feel that way.
