Interest and Time: Extent of reading

The purview/extent of reading does not merely depend on the level of interest as explained above chapter but also on the time factor. Time availability can be classified into five categories namely No Time, Very Less Time, Less Time, Sufficient Time and Leisure Time. The combined impact of interest level and time factor (time availability) can be explained with the help of below hypothetical table.

	No Time	Very Less Time	Less Time	Sufficient Time	Leisure Time
No Interest	---	---	---	---	---
Very Low Interest	---	---	---	Heading	Summary
Low Interest	---	---	Heading	Summary	Summary, subheadings, major points, highlighted text, excerpts and conclusion statement
Interest	---	Heading	Summary	Summary, subheadings, major points, highlighted text, excerpts and conclusion statement	Entire Content
More Interest	---	Summary	Summary, subheadings, major points, highlighted text, excerpts and conclusion statement	Entire Content	Entire Content
Higher Interest	---	Summary	Summary, subheadings, major points, highlighted text, excerpts and conclusion statement	Entire Content	Additional information & suggested/suggestible works

v     When there is no time, a reader does not and cannot ready anything irrespective of the level of interest, he/she possesses.

v     When a reader has no interest in a write-up, he does not go through the write-up even if he possesses leisure time

v     When a reader has higher level of interest and leisure time, he may not only go through the entire write-up but may go through the additional information given in the appendix and suggested reference books.
