I’m going to show you how to triple your

I’m going to show you how to triple your reading speed in about 20 minutes this

reading speed in about 20 minutes this

reading speed in about 20 minutes this was initially something I learned how to

college in my neuroscience days and it turns out most people have never been

turns out most people have never been

turns out most people have never been taught how to read properly and you

taught how to read properly and you

taught how to read properly and you think of reading in a straight line line

think of reading in a straight line line

think of reading in a straight line line by line in fact your eye jumps around to

by line in fact your eye jumps around to

by line in fact your eye jumps around to fixation points and each of those

fixation points and each of those

fixation points and each of those fixation points is usually a quarter to

fixation points is usually a quarter to

fixation points is usually a quarter to a half a second and that if you if you

a half a second and that if you if you

a half a second and that if you if you close one eye and cover the lid with a

close one eye and cover the lid with a

close one eye and cover the lid with a finger and then try to trace a straight

finger and then try to trace a straight

finger and then try to trace a straight line across a wall so the other eye

line across a wall so the other eye

line across a wall so the other eye you’ll feel these very distinct jumps

you’ll feel these very distinct jumps

you’ll feel these very distinct jumps these saccadic movements so the fewer of

these saccadic movements so the fewer of

these saccadic movements so the fewer of those jumps you have and the shorter the

those jumps you have and the shorter the

those jumps you have and the shorter the fixation points the faster you read also

fixation points the faster you read also

fixation points the faster you read also if you look at my finger focus on my

if you look at my finger focus on my

if you look at my finger focus on my finger can you see this hand yeah of

finger can you see this hand yeah of

course you can what about this guy I can

course you can what about this guy I can focus on it yeah you can and when you’re

focus on it yeah you can and when you’re

focus on it yeah you can and when you’re reading you’re usually eating up I would

reading you’re usually eating up I would

reading you’re usually eating up I would say a good twenty percent of your

say a good twenty percent of your

say a good twenty percent of your peripheral vision on margins okay we can

peripheral vision on margins okay we can

peripheral vision on margins okay we can take advantage of that so it’s very very

take advantage of that so it’s very very

take advantage of that so it’s very very straightforward to double triple your

straightforward to double triple your

straightforward to double triple your reading speed in very short order what I

reading speed in very short order what I

reading speed in very short order what I want you to do is get a before word per

want you to do is get a before word per

want you to do is get a before word per minute rate and all you have to do to do

minute rate and all you have to do to do

minute rate and all you have to do to do that is grab a book could be any book

that is grab a book could be any book

that is grab a book could be any book all you’re going to do is look at full

all you’re going to do is look at full

all you’re going to do is look at full text pages like these and we’d say ten

text pages like these and we’d say ten

text pages like these and we’d say ten lines count up the total number of words

lines count up the total number of words

lines count up the total number of words divide by ten that’s your average number

divide by ten that’s your average number

divide by ten that’s your average number of words per line okay then all you need

of words per line okay then all you need

of words per line okay then all you need to do is look at say four or five pages

to do is look at say four or five pages

to do is look at say four or five pages add up the number of lines per page

add up the number of lines per page

add up the number of lines per page usually it’s between thirty and forty

usually it’s between thirty and forty

usually it’s between thirty and forty lines per page and using these two

lines per page and using these two

lines per page and using these two numbers you can figure out the average

numbers you can figure out the average

numbers you can figure out the average number of words per page okay now once

number of words per page okay now once

number of words per page okay now once you’ve done that you can then read for a

you’ve done that you can then read for a

you’ve done that you can then read for a minute just normally as you would not

minute just normally as you would not

minute just normally as you would not rushing and use a stop watch boom

rushing and use a stop watch boom

rushing and use a stop watch boom calculate things that is your word per

calculate things that is your word per

calculate things that is your word per minute starting with all right our goal

minute starting with all right our goal

minute starting with all right our goal is to improve what gets measured gets

is to improve what gets measured gets

is to improve what gets measured gets managed so now you have your wpm word

managed so now you have your wpm word

managed so now you have your wpm word per minute rate as a starting next what

per minute rate as a starting next what

per minute rate as a starting next what we’re going to do is we’re gonna do the

we’re going to do is we’re gonna do the

we’re going to do is we’re gonna do the same thing and the only difference is

same thing and the only difference is

same thing and the only difference is we’re going to use a pacer alright so

we’re going to use a pacer alright so

we’re going to use a pacer alright so you’re going to underline the lines as

you’re going to underline the lines as

you’re going to underline the lines as go so you’re going to try that and that

go so you’re going to try that and that

go so you’re going to try that and that will probably increase your reading

will probably increase your reading

will probably increase your reading speed by fifty to one-hundred percent

speed by fifty to one-hundred percent

speed by fifty to one-hundred percent after we do that what we’re going to do

after we do that what we’re going to do

after we do that what we’re going to do is play with peripheral vision so let’s

is play with peripheral vision so let’s

is play with peripheral vision so let’s take some sample sentences this is once

take some sample sentences this is once

take some sample sentences this is once upon a time I had an eight pack those

upon a time I had an eight pack those

upon a time I had an eight pack those were happy days then Christmas came

were happy days then Christmas came

were happy days then Christmas came along oh all right so look at these

along oh all right so look at these

along oh all right so look at these sentences now most people if you’re

sentences now most people if you’re

sentences now most people if you’re using a pacer would start at once right

using a pacer would start at once right

using a pacer would start at once right it’s going to be hard for me to do

it’s going to be hard for me to do

it’s going to be hard for me to do something it backwards it started once

something it backwards it started once

something it backwards it started once and then move all the way across to the

and then move all the way across to the

and then move all the way across to the end and then boom come back all the way

end and then boom come back all the way

end and then boom come back all the way to the return here you don’t have to do

to the return here you don’t have to do

to the return here you don’t have to do that you don’t have to do that because

that you don’t have to do that because

that you don’t have to do that because you have this peripheral vision we’re

you have this peripheral vision we’re

you have this peripheral vision we’re talking about so what are we going to do

talking about so what are we going to do

talking about so what are we going to do we’re actually going to start actually

we’re actually going to start actually

we’re actually going to start actually going to start two or three words in

going to start two or three words in

going to start two or three words in your fixation point your pencil tip or

your fixation point your pencil tip or

your fixation point your pencil tip or your pen tip will be at upon and then

your pen tip will be at upon and then

your pen tip will be at upon and then we’ll end on had and then you’ll return

we’ll end on had and then you’ll return

we’ll end on had and then you’ll return to those and then end on days and then

to those and then end on days and then

to those and then end on days and then start again on can see how that works

start again on can see how that works

start again on can see how that works all right so you’re doing the same

all right so you’re doing the same

all right so you’re doing the same zig-zag pattern you’re just compressing

zig-zag pattern you’re just compressing

zig-zag pattern you’re just compressing it from the sides in and one way that

it from the sides in and one way that

it from the sides in and one way that you can do that you can certainly just

you can do that you can certainly just

you can do that you can certainly just use the Pacer and you can eyeball it

use the Pacer and you can eyeball it

use the Pacer and you can eyeball it since be or you can take a ruler or a

since be or you can take a ruler or a

since be or you can take a ruler or a postcard and do this right so go down

postcard and do this right so go down

postcard and do this right so go down the margins cutting in one or two words

the margins cutting in one or two words

the margins cutting in one or two words and if you want to be conservative just

and if you want to be conservative just

and if you want to be conservative just start cutting in one word so once upon

start cutting in one word so once upon

start cutting in one word so once upon write you’re going to start on a pile

write you’re going to start on a pile

write you’re going to start on a pile and can go straight down and then once

and can go straight down and then once

and can go straight down and then once you get comfortable with that then you

you get comfortable with that then you

you get comfortable with that then you can you can move it in a little bit more

can you can move it in a little bit more

can you can move it in a little bit more a little bit more and just using these

a little bit more and just using these

a little bit more and just using these two techniques test out your word for a

two techniques test out your word for a

two techniques test out your word for a minute reading rate again and then the

minute reading rate again and then the

minute reading rate again and then the last test I would say is practice

last test I would say is practice

last test I would say is practice reading at twice your target speed so

reading at twice your target speed so

reading at twice your target speed so practice beyond your comprehension level

practice beyond your comprehension level

practice beyond your comprehension level at nine hundred points for a minute for

at nine hundred points for a minute for

at nine hundred points for a minute for two or three minutes then go back and

two or three minutes then go back and

two or three minutes then go back and read for comprehension and use the Pacer

read for comprehension and use the Pacer

read for comprehension and use the Pacer indent from the sides and you will find

indent from the sides and you will find

indent from the sides and you will find that that pushes you even further here’s

that that pushes you even further here’s

that that pushes you even further here’s what happens so I go through the book

what happens so I go through the book

what happens so I go through the book and as I’m reading I’m looking for the

and as I’m reading I’m looking for the

and as I’m reading I’m looking for the golden nuggets of information so chances

golden nuggets of information so chances

golden nuggets of information so chances are you’ve probably read some great

are you’ve probably read some great

are you’ve probably read some great books in the past but if I told you what

books in the past but if I told you what

books in the past but if I told you what what did you specifically get out of the

what did you specifically get out of the

what did you specifically get out of the book you couldn’t tell me you know you

book you couldn’t tell me you know you

book you couldn’t tell me you know you forget about it

forget about it

forget about it and

and

and so I want to make sure whenever I read a

so I want to make sure whenever I read a

so I want to make sure whenever I read a great book I don’t forget the most

great book I don’t forget the most

great book I don’t forget the most important parts in it now some people

important parts in it now some people

important parts in it now some people you know highlight the you know they’ll

you know highlight the you know they’ll

you know highlight the you know they’ll highlight it and that’s what I used to

highlight it and that’s what I used to

highlight it and that’s what I used to do I used to just highlight the book but

do I used to just highlight the book but

do I used to just highlight the book but how many times you actually go back and

how many times you actually go back and

how many times you actually go back and you know reread your highlights it’s not

you know reread your highlights it’s not

you know reread your highlights it’s not very often and so here’s the strategy

very often and so here’s the strategy

very often and so here’s the strategy that I follow when I’m reading I’ve got

that I follow when I’m reading I’ve got

that I follow when I’m reading I’ve got the highlighter handy and so yes I do

the highlighter handy and so yes I do

the highlighter handy and so yes I do highlight but then if I want to commit

highlight but then if I want to commit

highlight but then if I want to commit it to memory see if you highlight it you

it to memory see if you highlight it you

it to memory see if you highlight it you might remember it a little bit more but

might remember it a little bit more but

might remember it a little bit more but when you rewrite that point it sinks

when you rewrite that point it sinks

when you rewrite that point it sinks into your mind quite a bit more and so

into your mind quite a bit more and so

into your mind quite a bit more and so actually take that and I rewrite it into

actually take that and I rewrite it into

actually take that and I rewrite it into my journal here so and then the act of

my journal here so and then the act of

my journal here so and then the act of writing it obviously causes me to be

writing it obviously causes me to be

writing it obviously causes me to be able to internalize up more and remember

able to internalize up more and remember

able to internalize up more and remember it more and so I’m taking the most

it more and so I’m taking the most

it more and so I’m taking the most powerful part of the book and I’m

powerful part of the book and I’m

powerful part of the book and I’m putting it in these journals now then

putting it in these journals now then

putting it in these journals now then once I’ve finished the book I reread the

once I’ve finished the book I reread the

once I’ve finished the book I reread the I reread my notes on that and then I

I reread my notes on that and then I

I reread my notes on that and then I highlight the most important notes that

highlight the most important notes that

highlight the most important notes that I wrote and so you can see here just

I wrote and so you can see here just

I wrote and so you can see here just from this book I’ll you know I mean it

from this book I’ll you know I mean it

from this book I’ll you know I mean it goes on and on and on but I’ve got my

goes on and on and on but I’ve got my

goes on and on and on but I’ve got my highlights in here now this is one of

highlights in here now this is one of

highlights in here now this is one of the reasons why for me it’s very easy to

the reasons why for me it’s very easy to

the reasons why for me it’s very easy to do trainings it’s very easy for me to do

do trainings it’s very easy for me to do

do trainings it’s very easy for me to do blog post and you know train on
