Imagine if you could learn fast, fast, fast. You'd be able to fill your head with life-expanding, profitable new information, and free up a lot of time. You would be a more powerful thinker. No matter how much horsepower a car engine has, it needs gas, right? Brain power is useless too, if the brain doesn't have enough fuel in it to go somewhere. Intelligence just won't get you anywhere without knowledge. So are you are ready for a fill-up, but don't have much time?
Speed Reading
You may remember some techniques of speed reading, if you've ever taken a course or read a book on the subject. If not, I'll refresh your memory, or introduce you to the highlights.
1. When scanning, read the first and last parts of paragraphs; this is where the important stuff is. Just pick up any book or article now to verify this.
2. Train your eyes to see whole sentences at once. This takes practice, but less back and forth with your eyes means faster reading.
3. Read summaries and captions. Even a good headline sometimes tells you most of the story, right?
4. Scan titles and subtitles before beginning, so you know what you are looking for. This helps comprehension too.
5. Don't say the words in your mind as you read (this limits your speed).
There is a lot more to it, and this is only meant as an introduction, but you can probably see the benefits of learning speed reading. Done right, you actually get better comprehension too, contrary to what many believe. It also seems to help with memory
