One of the best ways to save time is to do speed reading. When you read fast, you can get a rough idea of what material is presented to be read. Remember, speed reading is not an alternative to normal reading, but actually an exercise to make normal reading more effective.
How to read faster? The technique of speed reading involves the use of your finger. You need to train your eyes initially to follow your finger and after that as you increase the speed of your finger, you will be able to read faster.
To start with, take any book with only textual information and turn it upside down. Now keep your finger just below the line you are starting with. Move your finger as you read. Do this at least 10 minutes and then start increasing the speed of your finger, soon there will be no need to take the finger from one end to the other-you will just be able to keep it in the centre of the lines.
Now put the book straight again and use your finger to read. Will you be able to read faster? Of course! Measurements of word speeds indicate up to 50% increase in speed.
Do this 20 minutes exercise for a week. Your mind may not initially be able to cope up with this, but soon it will get used to.
Well, we don’t necessarily read at super speeds. But by being able to cope with fast speeds, one can grasp more at slower reading speeds. This makes reading effective as well as interesting.
