I think I’m a pretty slow reader (though, thankfully, a reasonably fast typist). And I’d like to get more efficient when I do the research for blog articles I write for clients. I know I have a habit of saying the words in my head, which is all very well when reading a novel, but I don’t need to do it when I’m reading a basic article about urinary tract infections or whatever! 🙂 I’m looking forward to trying all the speed-reading techniques. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, John!

Thanks so much for the book recommendation. I’ve been thinking lately that, fast as I read, I need to be reading faster. These days, the requirements on my time are legion and my required reading has at least tripled since my freelancing days. Sometimes it’s a little much!

This is really useful, and a great reminder that I’ve got the brainpower, so I should be utilizing it in better ways.

Hi John,
recently I started doing a lot of research online and I think I am a fairly fast reader.
I tried some of your tips in a book and i feels to me that it improved my reading speed.
Think it is time for me to do some more practicing and implement this with reading on computer.
I found that it is fairly easy to use the “finger” technique on a laptop.
Great tips,
Thanks,
Eddie

Hi John,
True to the nature of the post, I tried speed-reading it, and I did OK. It takes a little bit of getting used to, and it is sometimes easy to forget about it when we are researching, hungry for information.
But I should definitely try improving my reading speed.

I will try these speed reading techniques. I am bi polar manic depressant and have had trouble reading while in school. I hope these new techniques can bring me up at least to average reading levels. That way I will not be laughed at anymore.
