Picking out Trig's is similar to making "ABC" lists from the Memory course only instead of jogging your memory you're seeing what' your'e drawn to in the book. I already knew about ABC lists from a Guy Finley book where he said to make them to increase your awareness of something.
Doing the trigger words and questions is what makes the reading active instead of passive, if you think about it. If you look at a page and say "what word is here that I'm drawn to?" then "why?" I'm sure you can skip it if you plan on rapid reading it anyway but if you want to avoid rapid reading you better do it.
I usually get triggers from the table of contents/glossary and then with a very quick scan. Writing them down with colored markers and making a Pre-mind map seems to slow you down but it helps remember things.
