i spent the first minute of this video trying to figure out if you were bald with a sweatband or just wearing a beanie
this the type of video you watch when you procrastrinate but you also wanna study
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this guy’s straightforwardness? There wasn’t a single cut in his explaining the speed reading technique, I love it!
When a friend recommends me a trash book, I read it 3 pages/second just analyzing the main words. Then I tell them what basically happened in the book, and they look very surprised. They say that the book is about the exact opposite and I lose a friend.
I tried "tracking" with my finger on my Kindle Touch. Ended up buying 43 books and changing my password. It was carnage.
Summary:
“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
When he drew the lines on the book I was like "NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOO"

Applied this in less than 30 mins. Baseline WPM = 192. After applying the concepts in this video? WPM= 407 0% loss of comprehension. Actually, because it forced me to focus in, I think I retained more of the information. Thanks again, Tim!
I have just read "A Very Hungry Caterpillar" in less than 3 hours thanks to this! It works, wow!
This dude reads so fast he needs to wear a headband
Tim: I love this book
1. read at 1 minute for your normal speed. (mine was 208 words per minute)
With all that extra time I saved .... I spent time drawing lines in my book...
