How to read 200% faster in 10 minutes
(adapted from Tim Ferris' great book The 4 Hour Workweek)
Two minutes: use a pen or finger to trace under each line as ayou read as fast as possible. reading is a series of jumping snapshots called saccades, and using a visual guide prevents regression
Three minutes: begin each line focusing on the third word in from the first word and each line focusing on the third word in from the last wor.d this makes use of peripheral vision that is otherwise wasted on margins. for example, even when the highlighted words in the next line are your beginning and ending focla points, the entire sentence is read, just with less eye movement. Move in from both sides further and further as it gets easier
Two minutes: once comfortable indenting three of four words from both sides, attempt to take only two snapshots, known as fixations, per line on the first and last indented words
Three minutes: proactive reading too fast for comprehension but with good technique for five pages prior to reading at a comfortable speed.
This will heighten perception and reset your speed limit.
