Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer 5 day plan

Hello,

I'm completely new to PR and sorry if this topic was already handled. I've bought the book and have now reached the 5 day plan. I'm a little bit surprised now, because I expected that PR is done by executing the 5 steps in sequential order. The 5 day plan seems to be a mix of these 5 steps. Is the 5 day plan the preferred way to apply PR to books or is it only an example, how PR could be applied?

The 5 day plan is an example of how Photoreading can be applied. The steps do not have to be in sequential order. The sequence of the steps can be changed or modified but for beginning Photoreaders i think it is a good idea to follow the steps in sequential order until you gain more experience with the system. I think the 5 day plan is a method that shows you how learning takes place with layers.

The five day test is the sequential order. How you apply it when you take breaks. Prepare, Preview, PhotoRead. Incubate. Revisiting the book after incubation. Prepare, PhotoRead (optional but good practice while learning) and activate. Since you're taking a long break when doing the 5 day test, Prepare, PhotoRead and activate. Again PhotoReading optional but when studying it actually can be useful to PhotoRead again before each study session. You wouldn't need to do it if you took a 30 minute break

You activate multiple passes so 3 or 4 days of the test you use manual activation techniques like superread and dip or skittering.

Then to conclude you do a Rapid Read.

The reason prepare shows up at the beginning of each step is it's pointless even starting if you are not ready and have no purpose. It only takes a moment but placing that tangerine helps you to focus.

Thanks for explanations. This helped to make the picture more clear to me.
