RE: 4 Simple Steps to Reading WAY More Books than You Do Now

in #story9 years ago

I thought about including that, but it's super difficult and can turn people off to the idea if they can't figure it out. I know I still subvocalize most of the time. But when I am able to stop, I read so much faster. Even if you can't stop though, you can still increase your reading speed with Tim Ferriss's techniques.

Sort:  

Can you please do a second post about how to do this? Techniques or how to even begin separating the two?

I could try but im honestly not very good at it. The scientific speed reading method that I linked to was what helped me the most.

Yes, it is difficult to stop "sub-vocalization" and I want to be clear that I am not good at that, but when I am able to do it occasionally, I am pleased.

Usually, like other speed reading techniques, it takes intention and concentration.

Mostly, especially online, when trying to read fast, I resort to "skimming" as @mindover mentions above.
