How To Read Faster
- Humans can hear 4x faster than they can read.
- Try using audio books, play at 1.5x, 2x, 3x more than the normal speed. You can also do this while reading and following the audio at the same time.
- This way, you retain more, because you're using 2 senses (eyes and ears). You can further upgrade this by moving around like walking - which uses 3 senses.
- If you don't have the money for audible subscription or for buying the physical book, alternatives are:
- Use free apps
- Use the internet to download a softcopy
- Go to the library
- Go to youtube and search (playback speed available)
