I'm just not able to bother w/ speed reading anymore; it's too slow.
I was something of a slow, diligent reader who began at pg. 1.
Just using the preview techniques cuts out a lot of unnecessary reading. Stating my goal for reading cuts out more time. Determining how much time i want to commit at the time also cuts down on time spent.
Recently i've gone back to a number of books i had PhR for my workshop. NONE of them did i fully read. I developed a fear that i may be missing something. I was shocked to find nothing new to add.
One thing i also do is use the pencil highlighters from Levengers. These are terrific highlighters b/c they are pencils. I use a knife to sharpen them. Pencil sharpeners waste too much of the pencil & make the point too small. They come in 3 colors and i like the variety of the colors & use them to make relevant info stand out by combining them. Really they are a valuable tool for PhRing.
