It just like how people drive cars. My dad won't drive 1/2mph over the speedlimit, where as my boss is practically a Nascar driver. They both drive, but it is so different in style that it can be hard to call it the same thing, even though technically they ARE both driving.
I actually read a book, The Slight Edge, that recommends to read in small 10 min chunks if you're too busy or have issues focusing on your reading material.
