you can really do speed read

I always thought speed read is somewhat a myth, or that you would always lost something in the words if you read too fast. I've always had this belief or shall I say misblief, before reading this book (listening to this book). From the method and strategies in this book, now I can say that I briefly know what it is to speed read a book, or at least how it should be done, and could be done. Becuase I listened to it while I was driving, I couldn't really practice the techniques introduced in this book. Then after I got to the office, I always forgot to test it, because it's usually early mornings are our routine daily meeting time, there's a lot planning and reporting to do in this meeting, and I just had to put everything off from my hand and just dive into the meetings. If it's not for the review prompt I probably would forgot to write this as well, but this is a great book i'd give you that. it's a comprehensive introduction of training your brain to speed read. I'd probably listen to some of the key parts again before practicing some techniques I learnt from it.

Drills to practice

I naturally read faster than my peers and wanted to know how to accelerate the speed at which I process information. There are drills and exercises throughout this audiobook. One of the techniques is using a paperclip where you set a timer to read for 10 minutes, and when on the first day, wherever you stop, you put the paperclip there then on the second day, you count how many pages you read on the first day and add one page and put the paper clip there then you speed read ahead using the same 10 minutes up to that paperclip. You continue to each day as you force yourself to read faster and faster. Overall a useful audiobook on speed reading.
