I'm currently doing the first year of my 2-year MBA program. In these first two semesters, I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of readings due to my slow reading speed. Determined to improve, I discovered three key insights that doubled my reading speed within two weeks!
Insights:
1. Reading is a skill, which many of us have unconsciously marred with some habits we picked up while growing up.
2. Increasing your reading speed is all about unlearning these habits and forming better reading habits.
3. Changing these bad reading habits is not about techniques. It’s about logic, commonsense, and a little understanding of the biology behind reading.
This video also reveals the five powerful techniques that can turbocharge your reading abilities:
1. Overcome Subvocalization: Learn to silence the inner voice that's slowing you down, potentially limiting you to 183 words per minute, and try using a pacer to break the habit.
2. Harness Your Brain's Speed: Contrary to what we've been taught, our brains can process information quickly. Keeping up with its pace can actually improve comprehension.
3. Use Peripheral Vision: Exploit your peripheral vision to grasp words on a page faster without focusing on each one.
4. Read in Clusters: Train your eyes to read chunks of words for more efficient reading.
5. Implement Pacers: Guide your eye movement with pacers like pens or fingers to maintain a smooth and controlled reading flow.
With practice, these methods helped me hit 300 words per minute, transforming my reading experience. Watch the video for a detailed guide and share your thoughts in the comments!
