Double your reading rate

Scott Young wrote about doubling your reading rate. I have tried many practices myself, and they actually make a big difference. I especially liked his 5th point - find your motivation! Over the next five months, I have more than 15 books scheduled to be read, and it’s really important for me to read faster! For anybody who spends a good amount of time reading - emails, sites or books - try these principles out. They work!

You bet! Had to finish “8th Habit” yesterday, and I am still 1/3rd to go. And I am adding “Getting Things Done” on the list!

Just found an article about the PX Project - a research project done in Princeton University in 1998. They figured out techniques to increase the reading speed by 3 times - in 20 minutes!

Haven’t tried it myself yet, but it looks interesting!
