What was your reading speed at the start of your speed reading journey compared to now? Did you actively try to find websites to improve your reading or they serendipidously appeared and that catalyzed your speed reading journey? Do you speed read your youtube comments? Lol

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

At the start as i mentioned in video it was pretty normal, maybe 300ish wpm where I'd also have good comprehension. Now it's deffo over double that with solid comprehension and triple if i drop comprehension a bit. And yep i actively found the website because i was in a need to read faster ahaha And i do speed read comments - that's part of why it's easier for me to reply to them all hahaha

Do you apply speed reading to textbooks? And if you do how do you apply it? For my math textbook, I find it hard to grab all the information quickly.

The inner monologue thing was/is my biggest problem (still working on it). My issue is that I prefer to "hear" the words when reading novels or other books for entertainment, as I enjoy the imagery. However, it can be hard to switch that off when reading for learning. Just have to keep training myself on using one or the other on command!

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Yep for sure, it depends on whether we read for leisure vs to purely learn something - for the former it can be nice to keep the internal monologue. What helped some people (i dont do this tho) is repeating numbers 1, 2, 3 in your head as you read to get rid of the normal internal monologue. Apparently at first it feels like you aren't actively remembering what you read but if you do it slowly it might help!

@TrayOfKimbap

6 ай бұрын

It's possible to read fiction entertainment without internal monologue, and I'm able to myself. Funny, because if I slow down too much, I lose comprehension, so I still do away with internal monologue. English isn't my 1st language, so reading fiction without internal voice makes the "translation" instantaneous & simultaneous, seamless enough that I'm immediately immersed into the imaginary scene and the character POV. I'm no longer bogged down by slowing to try and imagine the unique charac voices or construct a background in my mind. The reading/seeing the words instantly trigger more than imagination, but outright immersion. so I'm able to finish a 300-page book in one sitting and recall details/themes that I love. It's totally possible and worth learning!

You're very welcome fuzzy bunny!

An additional detail that you've mised: between reading and taking notes (it also applies to classes) pay attention to how much you can memorize and summarize. If chapter is long, try to break it up, because the chances of you memorizing everything are pretty slim, and you will have to re-read whole thing to make sure that you didn't forget important information (whole thing cuz you do not know what you forgot or what was important). I have learned it from Jordan B Peterson when he talked on taking notes and learning. Also try to push yourself; don't summarize every 2 pages. If it is hard, try to force yourself to read 4, and really think hard to make a summary. You have to train your short term memory. Thank you for your video!

Thanks for the comment! Definitely for sure, have commented this exact thing to other commentors before hahaha (just didn't wanna fit too many points in the video).

You're welcome, and I hope it helps :)

Thanks! This works for most books. Some books like fiction and philosophy need me to slow down my reading even though I can read 350 words/min normally with good comprehension. I should summarize and consolidate though, even though I do annotate.

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Hahaha thanks bro, hopefully continue to grow the channel And definitely, for example with medicine there's a lot of extra knowledge - like if i learn about heart attacks, there's a whole list of causes or risk factors, but it's just inefficient to try and memorise every single condition or cause of it - 80/20 rule applies here, coz i can focus on what is common as opposed to rare. I think it can apply to basically any scientific subject tbh, maybe not too possible conceptually for something more applied though like maths in this sense

by the way, if you read a lot of chinese or japanese literature, I recommend using a program to convert from classic orthography to the western left-to-right style because it's easier to track and using a font with thin strokes and as little stylisation as possible, especially if you are from Taiwan or another country that uses traditional characters with a lot of strokes. also, you can try reading white characters on a black or cerulean background instead of black-on-white; some people find it nicer on the eyes (i don't)

You sir have advanced to the next level. My whole life i sometimes used this technique without knowing that it has a name. For me it worked similar but a bit different: i was not reading/going through line for line of text, but rather stared at small to medium sized textblocks with wide open eyes. Like scanning . Then i see "keywords" or key sentences that shows me what it is about, and where relevant information is, and then i know if its worth the time or not. Spoiler alert: most of the text clutter is not. I think this method should be taught in shool from early age. Imagine humans in the future have far more knowledge because of this. Seriously this can create a new kind of sentient humans that will think differently from us because of that masive amount of knowledge. I mean, we could do ourselves a big favour already if we just wouldnt produce all this totally unneccesary text clutter. Just Info. Another idea: Imagine the Internet without advertising 😮. Focusing only on the usedul. It would be a complete game changer. Btw are you an eye doctor? Greetings from a fellow optician.

Thanks for commenting! With focus for reading, i think there's the generic advice of removing distractions etc., but it could also just be that the book isn't interesting enough to you. In cases where you can read something more interesting, you probably should 😂 in cases where you have to read something and no choice, i think having a goal (i.e. like summarising a page) gives you the key incentive to focus. So don't let yourself move on until you can take something from the page and over time the focus should slowly improve. Hope this helps!

Perhaps the book is too hard for you? I think you have to find the reason yourself. And then think of ways of stopping it. Self reflection is an important part of life if you want to keep improving.

Thanks for the tips! I'm such a slow reader and i barley read textbooks but now i am motivate to change.

Yep exactly! The advice can be applied regardless of the level

I appreciate that you give helpful tips in reading faster. I found that one where you use a tracker particularly interesting. However, have you considered any downsides to it? For some people/circumstances, it might be more beneficial in reading slower and ensuring that one deeply comprehends one book over reading as quickly as possible, using internal monologue as their own insight and aware of nuances that only appear in slow reading. Although you touched on this with the idea of 'summarise and consolidation,' the inherent idea of reading fast could hinder this comprehension. Your tips would be helpful to those who value reading more books and maximising productivity in a given time over being more meticulous and appreciating the process of reading, and looking out for your own insight and the nuances. Depends on what people's goals are, I suppose.

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Here's one way to think of it - one person's speed of reading 'slow' might be another person's 'fast' reading speed. These tips helped me develop my baseline such that my 'slow' is still faster than what it used to be, helping me comprehend information just as well as I would have before, except faster. I think tbh some use of common sense and intuition can be used by a person to figure out a balance of using the tips vs not using them - as not all tips need to be used concurrently. So, it all depends at the end of the day

Question on the last advice, consolidation or "making it actionable". This might be more to self-help or skills-focused books (fitness, sport, art etc.), but reading academic papers, research, or other theory-focused school work it might be difficult to apply the relevant info. What do you think?

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! And yes of course, it wouldn't apply to everything. For research or theory, it's why i focus on summarising as i mentioned earlier in the video, as being able to summarise would demonstrate a good grasp of the concepts (and it helped me get better at understanding and processing scientific literature too)

Your videos have been helping me so much! Thank you!

What do you recommend for books with lots of formulas and derivations? Like maths and physics books. Also the bottleneck might be understanding instead of reading speed for complex concepts.

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Yeah tbf, for things with formulas and derivations it is a different story - the advice can't apply to 100% of things, as for these things the way you could increase comprehension would be to do practice Qs and worked examples etc., as opposed to just read and improve reading comprehension (since we can't just summarise these things as we can words in the same way). It depends though, for complex concepts in medicine, I've definitely gotten faster at comprehending information because of this approach I've taken - but definitely does depend on the field of work.

I feel like this is quite easy when reading easy vocabulary, but reading academic papers or learning something new is really where I need this skill, but it comes very hard. Comprehension has to be balanced with speed. You can’t just let your eyes do the work and still remember most of it when all of the content is new for you. What is your advise on this?

@Salim_Ahmed

6 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for commenting I take a step wise approach - i dont jump up in reading speed too much, i just go up a little bit, just beyond what I'm comfortable with, and employ the methods I've mentioned especially towards the end of the video. I think you can intuitively figure out what makes sense for you depending on the difficulty of what you read and work from there instead of expecting 3x speeds for any piece of article you read, which tbh is silly to expect

same here, i can revise previous materials lightning fast, i have been doing this (no internal monologue, visual tracker) constantly without even realizing. but it only works during revise sessions, learning new materials is still slow af. and these doesnt help in boosting learning speed in any way, only thing to boost learning/memorizing speed is to write stuff in air (literally), imagine your finger to be a pen and pretend an intangible canvas is in front of you then write the lessons you learnt there in large bold letters, since there is no friction you will write tons of words in a very small amount of time and carving imaginary letters with your finger on an intangible camvas is way more engaging and massively boosts learning new stuff and the 80/20 percentage thing is true, but my OCD(recently dignosed) makes it too painful to skip study material so in the end i just end up reading everything and investing too much time. so the combination of being a medstudent+ this ocd of mine is a living hell so far
