Speed Reading For Information Hungry People.
Speed Reading For Information Hungry People
This IS the Information Age!
Wouldn’t you love to be able to absorb information faster and
retain it?
Learning to speed read in these days isn’t just something nice
to do if only I had some extra time. No, no, no. It is
absolutely vital. In fact, the people who are going to get ahead
in life and do well in their jobs and businesses are those that
can absorb information the easiest. And of course be able to
apply it.
Just being able to read faster is not the answer. Speed Reading
WITH comprehension is a must.
Read and comprehend faster with these tips.
1. Don’t leave behind any words that you don’t know.
Get a good simple dictionary and look up ANY words you don’t
know. This may seem to slow you down but as you understand more
and more it will get faster than ever, with comprehension.
2. Relax.
If you are not relaxed then it is much more difficult to
concentrate. You need to be focused or nothing will sink in. The
whole idea of absorbing information is the ability to apply it,
right? Yes, of course.
3. Be interested in what you are studying.
Let’s face it. How much of the stuff that you learned at school
do you remember? I’ll bet it was only what you were very
interested in. Get interested and it will go more smoothly.
4. Take short breaks regularly.
Don’t go on a marathon and try to finish the whole book without
blinking. Take a short break every hour or so and focus on
something else. Make a coffee or listen to some relaxing music.
Then get back into it. You will feel refreshed and ready for
another input of info.
5. Practice, practice, practice.
The mind is just like a muscle. If you don’t use it the strength
will weaken. You need to build it up by practicing. Don’t strain
at it too much though. You don’t want to strain a “mind muscle.”
Set a goal. Find out how fast you can read, then, create a plan
to increase your ability.
If you can read 200 words per minute, set a goal to achieve 250
words a minute. After reaching this goal, go for 300 words per
minute.
This takes time and practice, but the effort is all worth it.
Speed reading is fun so have fun with it.

Reads on the Road $9.15 This collection scrapes the bottom of the Jack Kerouac barrel, unearthing Kerouac documents both worthy of public scrutiny and ones that are not. The title to this CD is a tad misleading, as it begins with a late-1950s session of Kerouac singing, to jazz accompaniment, a song written for him by Sammy Kahn. There are several jump jazz tunes with Kerouac’s scat-flavored vocalizings; they will be of … |
