How to Read 2x Faster and still remember everything

  • I read 40X more books than I did last year. But to be honest, learning how to speed read isn't and shouldn't be the goal. Reading faster doesn't mean much unless we can also comprehend, understand, and remember what we read. Because we read so we can improve our lives, not stroke our ego. So in this video, I want to also share my strategies for speed reading while retaining what I read.

    Sit up right.
    Dedicated spot, lighting
    Put it in a calender, devoted time for reading
    Read without speaking the words in your head.
    Stop reading a book if you don't like it.
    Not read every single word in the book.
    Read multiple books at once.
    Complete solidation skills. Use that information at once. Process info and apply it.
    Stop and apply what you learn on the spot.
    Write about what you read in your new words.
    Consolidate by having some link to build at the same time.
    Implement and engage with what you read. Intentional and impliment them as soon as possible.

    Being a relatively small channel, Cajun Koi really is a wonderful channel for self-improvement. I wonder how you're so good at focusing on the little details. I for one, am somebody who understands how good a channel is (for me) by paying attention to the bigger as well as smaller things, and your videos are so crisp, I'm forced to watch more and more of your content. I don't usually write comments but I felt I had to do it here. Keep the great work up!

    I use saccades. They’re my quantum movements. I will read 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 of a line (depending on font size) with each movement, taking in those words as a quantum of thought, like a preposition. Smooth movement across the page is not natural and you’ll revert back. I believe it’s best to exploit the natural movements.

    I have this idea of explaining what I read to someone else, for example I could read an adventure story and explain it to someone, or teach the knowledge in the book to someone, like telling them what I though was important in the book, or what was significant to me. Sadly I don't have any siblings so it's just me, the only kid in the house who still plays video games and reads books with no intentions. I really wish there was a website where you can read books and explain it to other people, tell them the important parts and they can also tell you about a book they're reading. This way you can learn twice as fast!

    Summary-
    Reading done in upright posture is better as it stimulates your brain to know its reading time in contrast to sleeping position which stimulates sleeping.
    Scheduling is vital to set a time to reading.
    Use fingers to make your eyes follow as when eye has to follow a marker it reads better and more uniform.
    Do not read the words in your mind . try reading them aloud to establish relationship of sound and word to read faster when you are reading in your mind.
    Do not read what you don't like as it will create a detachment to what you are reading. Instead reading purposefully is a better option as it allows you to be interested.
    Do not read every word to get idea read and move on.
    Lastly read to feed curiosity and read and apply Write a review of book points in your own words it will help.
    if you are planning to build something build while reading the book.

      Yes. He basically said as much in the video. Unless you're reading for an exam. Then you're committed (like marriage!) so you'll need to grit your teeth and keep going.

    Reading in bed was the worst habit i started. Because you’re right. My brain doesn’t think it’s time to sleep unless i read. Now i end up reading a whole hour before i can sleep lol

    What if your not interested in a book but you have to read it to pass a quiz or something. How will we get emotionally attached?
