Why do we need to speed read? We are under sufficient pressure to work already? If this is your idea, then it's time to think again. The playback speed is not obliged to work harder. Instead, allowing you to improve your reading speed up to 300 percent, is much more about how to better manage your time and work more efficiently.
In this article I will highlight some of the key issues surrounding the playback speed as well as describing some of the ways you can start building your reading speed. More than that, however, I want to emphasize that I consider to be the key element of this approach. It is in the interest of anyone to read faster if you do not remember everything I read, so here I see the ways that you can read the speed and improve your ability to retain information at the same time .
How can you speed reading can help? The most common reason that drives the leaders of the playback speed is your desire to find better ways to manage and deal with information overload. Business leaders must now take, absorb and remember more information than ever before and, of course, most of this information comes in written form - through minutes, reports, proposals, brochures and, of course, texts and e-mails.
However, the playback speed should not be regarded merely as a reactive technology. Many participants in our courses indicate that one of the main engines of them is being able to find a way to read these books that have been sitting on your shelf too long or magazines that come every week and never seem to have the time to open. These executives and managers recognize that knowledge is the fuel of professional success and in this sense the speed of reading is a step forward in terms of efficiency, providing people with a real advantage in a competitive world.
So, in summary, what are the benefits of speed reading. That
or significantly reduces the time it takes you to get through the workload
or you can learn faster
or help them become more competitive
or gives you more time / thought of free time
or reduces stress
In addition, it also contributes to the understanding and recall. The logic of this last detail is important. Most people when streaming find their attention wandering. Accordingly, they should reread the paragraphs or entire pages and it interrupts the flow and sense of what the author is trying to communicate. In addition, the researchers found that most of the new jump is completely useless to say that does not improve our understanding of what we read.
However, we read speed, forces the reader to maintain the momentum and continue to read. In doing so, we gather large pieces of information and fill most of the details because we generally know little of the history of the subject.
How the working speed reading? Now to the mechanics of reading speed.
The essential process of reading speed are the same. When asked, most people assume they read in a single movement from left to right on the page. However, our eye movements during reading are not smooth at all. Our eyes must stop at regular intervals to take new data and this means that we actually had a series of small jumps as it reads on the page. The jumps are called saccades, breaks are known as fixations.
The links are critical to our reading speed. If you take a long attachment, reading every word of word line, you are a slow reader. And if you jump back on rereading words or whole paragraphs, like most people, it will hurt more. Therefore, these are skills - to spend less time in each context and learn to take more words per fixation.
There are, however, two quite distinct aspects of speed reading that is useful to distinguish here are:
Read more effective speed reading is not only on how to improve reading speed. It also includes a series of techniques that will help you read more efficiently and adapt their approach to what you read. For example, if you have a report to be read, for starters, you'll probably need an overview. So the speed of reading includes a number of what I call "valuation techniques" they provide to you, the reader, the relevant information is needed to determine whether or not you should continue reading a particular document.
This aspect of "evaluation" of the playback speed that surprises many people generally consider the playback speed is only read everything faster. But in reality, it is having the right tool for the job. There is no need to read a document that is not interesting or better read by someone else. This is to develop some powerful assessment techniques that are now available.
In this regard, here is an overview of the four techniques that are available to you, each of which can deepen their understanding of the material that may be sitting in your inbox.
o The structured abstract is one way of knowing that the document has been collected, which base is covered and what your promise is for you. You probably unconsciously adopted this strategy when you have collected, for example, a new magazine at a newsstand. You can filter the key information to see coverage, evaluating the design, content reading and perhaps writing. Flipping through the magazine you are looking for these signals guide and help you determine if you want to buy.
o rapid pre-reading is another valuation technique that determines a short period of time, say ten minutes, and deliberately run through all pages of the document, because of one or two seconds per page.
This technique allows to better understand the flow and content of the document, without going into too much detail. You, the reader can take note of the parts of the document that might be interesting to determine whether all, some or none of these documents should be read in more detail.
Skimming is a technique or assessment a little differently than the previous ones, but also help readers assess their equipment. In this case, you read through the news section, identifying key issues, trying to get an idea of the story. Practice bubble advantage of all devices by publishers and authors to break up text, such as titles and subtitles, illustrations, titles, summaries and conclusions, signs and stickers.
or exploration is how to view specific information. Naturally you do when, for example, you are looking for a known person in a telephone directory. All exploration is not built in this skill, making it absolutely clear what you want, letting your eyes move and colloquialisms using keys or structures in the document to guide you to where you need to go.
All these techniques allow you to evaluate your relevant or material interest and, therefore, provides a powerful way to manage the information they send each day that otherwise clog your inbox or in your inbox.
Read faster The second aspect of this approach is to improve your actual playback speed and in this case there are a number of techniques to learn.
A useful technique is to use a guide, like a pencil, even your finger cursor to highlight the words as you read. Your guide in this context is the leader and keep your eyes moving along the line without problems. In his own people find that this technique can sometimes double your reading speed, simply because it helps to improve their approach. Another technique that I alluded to maintain momentum. So when you need to return something that I just read - do not. You stop. Instead of continuing to read with interest. In reading the text is just a bad habit that you must learn to break.
Now part of what it means is the need for commitment and practice. I spoke briefly to two important techniques here, but none of them are difficult to learn. However, many people find it difficult to break the habit and make a change. Their commitment wanes, their habits are deeply rooted and that is why the last part of this article focuses on how we can get behind us to learn how to produce.
Beliefs and attitudes when it comes to speed reading, I suggest that our problems come from our belief that many of our abilities. For example, you think you can read more than one word at a time, keep reading comprehension faster and remember what you read when you read faster?
These benefits are at hand - but his first challenge is that it is possible for you.
Now we know that our beliefs drive our behavior. So if you do not believe that the benefits of speed reading is at hand, and then guess what, they do occur. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, to break their patterns of thought and behavior that must be both committed and willing to change you.
In this sense, the first part of the process is to create a positive attitude towards work. If you are in a negative mood, you will find that you eat very little of what you read. While beliefs that you do not need to become an accomplished speed reader?
A stunning view of the beliefs is that they are set. You may tend to act is whether they are in the test just concluded that the time of your beliefs have changed significantly. So you can change your beliefs about the reading speed? Can, for example, try this belief ... "I think I can learn speed reading very easy" or perhaps "I think that in three weeks I will be able to read at least three times faster than I read now.
In essence, then, if you want to develop your skills as a speed reader will have to do something more to learn about the techniques. You will learn how to learn with a commitment and a positive belief until they are reaping the benefits of this approach. In this sense, it can help your self through:
or be clear what results you want to become a speed reader is
or choose the attitude that will help to engage positively with the reading matter
or suspension of disbelief and the belief that work is in accordance with its objectives
or taking into account their energy and their learning pace and, if necessary, take breaks and relax
or management of your environment so that it is not disturbed or interrupted
Conclusion
For all of us learning to learn is less choice and more of a necessity. This is not only a response to a fast paced world, but it is also harness our potential and become truly effective in the world in which we work.
So you should learn how to speed read? Is it worth the investment of time and energy? Only you can assess the amount of information to take in each week and the pressure you feel that you are trying to keep abreast of the latest developments in your industry. But if you want to improve your ability to manage information overload and to keep their knowledge up to date, so I think that speed reading is part of the answer.
