speed read

I think that my reading speed is totally okay. I’m an excellent reader and I read at the pace a person would speak the words understandably so, I don’t see a problem, but I think it would be easier I guess?

I want to get through more books and learning in less time.

Still haven’t found the time to read my spead reading book! ha ha, still got a pile of text books to read but I haven’t had the motivation to read them yet – I’ve just read Eric Clapton’s autobiography and I’ve now started Jools Hollands autobiography.

Hey I can’t work all the time ;)

I never took this thing any further – a lot of the documentation that I read was not very believable. I’m of the belief that the more you read the better you get at it – ‘broad deep reading’ as Stephen Covey called it in his famous ‘Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’ – so therefore that’s where I think that the focus should be.

There’s no magic method :(

EyeQ seems to be quite popular – where’s the best place to download it? I have the Tony Buzan book on speed reading but I’ve never found the time to read it!!

and though I don’t use everything I learned, I do read faster and remember most of what I read.

I’ve installed EyeQ because of the many recommendations on this list. I’ll work through and post progress after each lesson. The reason I’m doing this is I have a TBR that’s probably taller than my house and they’re taking over! At first it was my desk space, then it was the area around my desk (when the bookshelves were already filled), now I’m moving and clearing out old clothing to make more space for books on my shelves and drawers. But I know why I bought each book so I can’t just let it go.

I’ve downloaded a program called Eye-Q. I’ve only gotten to do the first session, but I really dig it and my speed almost doubled in that session. You have to keep working on it for several sessions, but it has already changed how I read, and I was fast before.

Specifically, complete 4-week exercise plan.

Your eyes must be able to refocus fast. Some have it, most don’t.
