I don’t know about lawyers or judges.

But I worked in accounting for an old persons home, and the amount of beurocratic nonsense I had to sift through on a daily basis.

I don’t think I’ve done anything close to a 1000 page document, but heaps and heaps of 300 page documents, 2 or 3 every other day.

The thing is, I don’t really have to read the entire thing word by word cover to cover.

Usually when I get access to these documents or I’m asked to run through them I’m looking for *specific* information.

Maybe 10-15 pages are actually relevant to what I need in the whole document, and using the index or by flipping through and searching for keywords I can usually find most of what I need in under half an hour.
