however, I've directed my focus to where my curiosity takes me instead of intending to 'get through the whole book without worrying about comprehension.' In this case, however, I've gone chapter to chapter later on in the book (because previously I only activated the beginning few because I ran out of time -- again, obviously not going quickly enough). I'm going down the pages quickly -- I'd say about 3-18 seconds per page (depending on how much I'm dipping). However, I also spend some time going back to the table of contents to review what I've done and have to do so that I can form questions for SR/dipping.
The approach is there but it sounds like you've forgotten the question/s that you were seeking the answers to.
You are correct in geting out of the linear mode of reading when it comes to activation. There is nothing wrong with going to the index or Table of Content to find which chapter is best to activate.
Go easy on yourself about overdipping. Just remember if it doesn't look like the answer ind the first phase or sentence at the most
move on. Don't worry about it that you might come back to find the answer there later. You're developing a recognition for a body mind connection that you didn't even know exisisted before PhotoReading.
Try not analysing whether it's taking too long. Let it take as long as it takes to gel. Unlike with traditional reading you will get more out of it and in 1/3 the time it takes you to read it the old fashioned way. But you need to get out of your own way. Judging it as taking too long is like looking at your untied shoe laces while you're running in a race. Focus on the finish line get there as fast as you can, buy just doing the best you can under the circumstances. That will get you there fastest.
