Hello, Iv'e been tryieng photoreading for some time now and I have trouble finding somwhere quiet with little or no distractions. Every time I ge into the state I worry that someone will come dashing in the room(most of the time this does happen). I was just curious as how you all cope with this. Also, I'm having difficulty formulating questions for mind probing. Should the questions be specific or broad questions. Will activating only answer those questions or others that I subconcsiously have.
I have learned alot from photoreading in terms of a greater appreciation for how humans get and aquire info. thanks

I remember taking a photoreading class that Paul Scheele himself taught & he gave us a assignment that we were supposed to do on our lunch & that assignment was to photoread in a restaurant or some other public place where people were talking or there was a lot of activity going on. The other than conscious mind that you tap into when you photoread can process 20,000 things at the same time so you do not need to be in a place where it is completely quiet or very distractions. Your mind can photoread in a busy restaurant with no problems & i think that was Paul's point that you don't have to a environment that is completely quiet in order to photoread.As for questions being specific or general i think that is related to your purpose and what you are trying to accomplish. photoread4me.

Great. I am still new to PRing in public comfortably. You are not alone! I used to worry about having a perfectly quiet and productive stage for PRing, but I let that concern go because I ended up ruining my own experience by worrying. Trying to get things right was a definite danger, because there was a chance of mistakes anyway. It's really up to you to let that concern go as well. Just realize that you are doing something productive each time you use the system, regardless of environmental distractions. Try to see public PRing as practice under pressure, because you'd most likely do that more often later in life.

I've activated many books in a restaurant. Photoread a stack before the meal and start activating one afterwards.

When you first learn to enter the accelerative learning state it helps to have a bit of peace and quiet. After entering it 5 to 10 times you just need to think of it and you start heading there. Sure it happens that while you're photoreading that someone interupts you. My solution is simple turn back about 10 pages and photoread from there after the distraction is gone. When you got kids 3 and 4 nearby those interuptions are common.

Activation passes are also multiples of short passes so don't get bogged down. Just remind yourself that it's only 3 to 7 minutes per book anyway so you've always got a good chance to be finished before you get interupted.
