I am a doctor and currently I am studying for my specialisation .. daily live study sessions on the channel .. it’ll be a pleasure to have you along .. keep up the hard work .. hope to see you soon 👍🏻

One tip I have when it comes to improving your reading/reading faster: you have to read a lot, and consistently. This will cause your average reading speed to naturally increase, and more importantly, it'll help you develop different "speeds" that you will use for different kinds of books. You will get a better sense for when you need to slow down vs speed up, and you will naturally start switching between modes when necessary. Serious/classic literature will force you to slow down, but when you read a run-of-the-mill modern self-help/productivity book, you can tear through it in a day.

According to Jim Kwik book's (Limitless), the three obstacles that prevent us from reading quickly are: 1\ Regression 2\Outdated skills 3\ Subvocalization

Regarding subvocalization, I noticed that when I was very young and read books only in my native language I never subvocalized and I read much quicker. However, when I started reading in English as my first foreign language I needed that voice in my head in the beginning when I wasn't too fluent, after that it stayed with me and I wasn't able to get rid of it since. Now, regardless of language I pronounce words in my head and I know it makes me a slower reader, but I can't stop.

I second your notion template, I’ve been using it for uni since I watched your original video and I’ve never looked back. I even got compliments from professors when I showed them my reading notes.

You really save my time I have been wondering how to read books faster for a few days and your video is out! THANK YOU so much Ali

I've been practicing speed reading for the past few months, reducing sub vocalisation, and the one thing which kept me back was that I always felt i might be losing out on information, which might be important it was like this constant fight in my head bringing my speed down. But this is just a habit we have in our heads. I'm still trying, and yes the books I enjoy reading, i read them slowly understanding everything. But when it comes to productivity books like my recent one - rich dad poor dad, i did the speed reading because of the repetition of the same ideas throughout the pages, and it worked. Although not as good as the best readers out there but yes it's achievable with almost everyday's practice which i mostly do in the newspapers.. skimming through facts and reading carefully things I feel are useful for me or my career. And this video gave me that validation i needed, to know that it's okay... To read fast...and feel like I might be missing out on things. I just need more practice. Thanks Ali!

agree with you

Your videos and podcasts always motivate me! Thank you Ali!!

I can totally relate to what you meant by not subvocalising the words to read faster. I was so frustrated that I could read fast sometimes but not all the time. Now that you mentioned about this subvocalising thing I finally realised that was something that happened to me when I felt distracted and read slowly! 👍🏻

You’re simply amazing, your content are top notch, I hope to make contents like yours in the future 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Thanks Ali for this insightful video. I think writing a summary is key as it’s similar to teaching somebody else the content you’ve just read. I suppose that forces you to really put in the focus and pick out important parts of the message.

You already had me start using Notion and I had a boring, simple, reading list. Your was so much more fun. I think I'll get so much more out of my reading when I have a proper way for my "take aways" of every book. Awesome man!

Good video Ali. Thanks for posting this!

Hi from japan. im a japanese junior doctor. "In general, I'm a big fun of gamifying all different components of my life, because it just makes life more interesting. And it means that skill acquisition like learning new stuff just becomes so much more fun when you turn it into a little game that you play with yourself." - Ali Abdaal this is my first note on notion. I thought you made your success by this way of thinking. a friend of mine taught your account and im watching like all your videos using the entire day lol it also helps my improving english listening. looking forward to see the next one!

Hi guys, I just want to say this with regards to Ali Abdaal's videos. If you ever feel that you need to constantly be productive and achieve perfection every time, please understand and accept that there is no such thing. Life is all about doing your best in the time that you have, and if you are someone who wants to continuously achieve perfection, know that it is not always possible; it is okay to have days where you don't do anything, it is okay to take a break, to relax, to take your mind off things. Ali Abdaal has the mentality and ability to continuously work and be productive with a very tight schedule and get things done as he has centred his life around that and now has the mindset that he must continue in this way as he know has to practice what he preaches in a sense. Please, when watching these videos, I know many people feel depressed/anxious/feel uncertain that they can't even come anywhere near achieving what Ali Abdaal has achieved. Please, don't compare your life to Ali's. You lead your own life, forge your own path in life. I do not subscribe to Ali Abdaal because it stresses me out just how 'perfect' his life is in terms of his productivity and work ethic & even looking at the titles of his youtube videos stresses me out; for me it seems incomprehensible but he is living proof of it but, I want to live my life without comparing. Please when watching his videos, be mindful that yes, it may appear perfect in a perfectly edited video, but, please note that behind the scenes, life can be messy. So, please as I know the titles of some of his youtube videos may make you feel psychologically that you are somewhat inadequate/falling behind in this world, please take sanctity in the knowledge that you shouldn't think this is unattainable; you do not see his hard work, his negative battles, his mistakes behind the scenes that has led him to this moment. I don't know who will even read this comment but I am writing this more for me if anything and for anyone else who may be feeling low. I am a medical student in my second year and I take it day by day, most days I am productive and positive, other days, I can procrastinate days on end and feel negative, this is simply the yo-yo effect of being a medical student. Please, accept that Ali Abdaal's 'perfect' life he represents on youtube should not be comparable to your life to the point where you become anxious and stressed over every little detail of your life. It is okay if your life is not perfect, it is okay if you mismanage your time, take baby steps everyday or whenever you feel like. There is no rush. Have a good day people.

Ali....amazing video as always. Please please create a productivity video soon. It charges all of us really. Thank you and regards.

To read books fast, I rely wholesomely on the 80/20 principle with a mixture of skimming, jumping between paragraphs, and sometimes actual reading. Highlights are exported and end up in my personal notes collection. My assumed processing speed is one page per minute, which yields a quite accurate approximate reading duration of the whole book.

Love the summary concept

Hi Ali, I like how you constantly shares some tips to increase productivity. I am a college student who struggles in organic chemistry. I wonder if u have any suggestions for this kinds of “language”?

Thanks for the tips! I do agree that using a pointer to read helps me a ton. I've also started writing notes and quick summaries of every book I finish and I'm loving it, so that is for that idea. Also, you look really hot with that beard 🔥🔥

Ali tells us things someof which we might realise personally but never put into words. 👏 👏 👏 😌

Hey Ali a 13yr old kid in the uk. I totally agree with everything you are saying it makes total sense subvocalization increases your comprehension but it reduces your reading speed. And btw have you read "Limitless" by Jim kwik because a lot of the points you are saying, he writes in his book. If not you should definitely read it, it will be worth the time you have on earth reading it. See you till the next video keep up the good work😃😃💯💯💯🙏🙏

Love u ali. Ur video r really inspiring to me. I was wasting my time. Ur notification brought me back on track. As the y do always.

Good tips, especially like the non verbalization idea. One of the best tips i have received is to read similar to the way you read when you are skimming through a section looking for something specific. Mimicking that fast pace.

The beard is awesome 🙌🏼

I appreciate the tips from video and I'll definetly use them although I am not a fan of the fast reading culture. For me, books are like food.

Don't do this to any kind of book you will read, for example, fast reading isn't gonna help you while reading mathematics, physics... etc textbooks, for obvious reasons. Reading fast is helpful in linear reading which isn't the case of most learning materials, as frequent back jumps to previous parts of the book are necessary.

Thanks for sharing your notes template. I adored the Mistborn Trilogy, and it even got me free tacos once. In 2015 I was at my fave taco spot where they make new hot sauces on the regular and name them thematically. The hot sauces had names like Marsh, Sazed, and Zane. I asked, "Who's reading Mistborn?" and a guy in the kitchen was so excited to meet someone he could talk about the book with, he gave me my tacos and my beer on the house.

Only legends know that this was called "How I read really fast" before he changed it

Damn, im early better think of something funny 😁

Thank you so much this is so helpful

Very insightful video. Very useful tips. I think that the examples and the repetitive ideas given in a book after the central theme has been uncovered really helps in consolidating and reinforcing the central theme of the book in the reader's mind in a world where we are bombarded with novel ideas left and right. Hence the part of the book that succeeds the unveiling of the central theme is as important as the central theme itself.

In short: Read 521 books a year by only reading books which are 1 % value and 99 % filling. Hint: Do not read philosophy.
