With all the information thrown at us in this high-paced insane society, many struggle just to get all the required reading in, without even finding the time for the elective reading they really wish they had time to read. Perhaps, this is why speed reading is so important to folks and why so many are searching the words "Speed Reading" on the Internet these days - it's true, it is one of the most searched phrases in the educational realm.
The reason is clear, folks need to read more to keep up with their schooling, professional on-going educational requirements, and the news, data and reports for their work.
Personally, I can tell you as an avid reader of many topics and subjects that it is indeed a huge challenge. Not only must we be selective in what we read due to limited time factors, we must also read faster, skim more and get to the meat of whatever we are reading quickly.
Too, it is imperative that we comprehend what we read, as there is no time to go back and do it again. Scientists have shown that folks remember less than 30% on average of what they read, even when they pay attention to the details and facts. Thus, simply reading faster and reading more in a shorter amount of time my not solve the problem.
So, I'd like to suggest a completely new approach to the concept of speed reading. Here is what I do; I micro-schedule my time. That is to say, I'll read 3-5 pages of a report, a chapter of a book, a few articles on the web, a chapter in another book, part of the newspaper, then finish up the report, read another chapter of yet another book and so on. Why you ask?
Well, because the Internet has trained my brain to flip from one subject to the next, and because this keeps my mind from getting bored and allows me time to soak in the information, before coming back to it again. Thus, I am further reinforcing the imprinting of that information into my head. Think on this, it might very well work for you too.
