I Need to Learn to Read More Gooder
You know those products where you do some sort of “eye exercises” or Voo Doo trances everyday and you end up being able to read faster or control peoples minds?
Do you think they work?
This semester I am taking pretty much all communication classes and surprise, surprise, they all come with giant text books. Well, not giant as in ED’s Organic Chemistry book, but still 400-500 pages each.
And of course, each teacher wants you to read one or two chapters per week. Each chapter is roughly 30 pages long, which equates to exactly way to much freaking reading.
Don’t get me wrong, I find a lot of the content interesting (Yay! I’m actually on the right education path!), it’s just that it takes so GD long to get through it all.
Lord help me. I’m only one week into this semester…
I’ve gotta figure out a way to be more efficient. Your ideas may be are welcome. My sleep depends on it. And frankly, that’s just not something I want to part with.
Blogfully yours,
Summer
Ooooh, let me know if you come up with any ways to read faster. I’ve been procrastinating and now have LOTS of catching up to do before my book club in 10 days. Yikes!
Thanks @Nilsa! I wish they had them on CD so I could listen as I commute (my commute is about 30 minutes each way!). But you might be able to try that?
Check out Tim Ferris (author of The Four Hour Work Week) – he got into this whole speed reading thing while in college and is able to process a ton of info in a heartbeat.
here’s his blog post all about it:
