I've noticed a big change in my reading habits this semester. Last year (and throughout my academic career to date), I was a slow reader. I read things very closely and retained everything. This year, I don't so much read things as look at them. I pick up a couple of sentences from each paragraph, take a few notes, and move on. My reading comprehension definitely suffers, but time permits no more.
I worry that this is a preview of what it's like to be a lawyer: time and budget constraints probably force one to throw together a lot of work that is good enough, but not the best one can do.
