Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Problems with photoreading

Hello there.

To start off, i am a beginner pr using the photoreading wholemind system for about 4 months already.

However, i am still having problems. Especially the activation preview and postview part.

I am now having the habit of copying down all the trigger words to the paper, but in the end i am having about 50 trigger words just for a chapter, which is only a mere 30 page biology chapter. What am i doing wrong here? In the photoreading book, it only mentioned about 20 keywords.

With the activation part, answers do not really seem to come. Should i:
1: ask the questions then look into the book for answers. or;
2: ask the questions, and wait for a long long time for answers to come.

Which of these works?

Lastly the postview part, here is what i do, i flip through the pages, and in each section i will create some questions and then i just continue. However, these questions will seem to get lost in my head, and i cant find them anymore... does it really matter? Or i just proceeed as normal?

Sorry for the long message...
Much help appreciated

Spending too much time in previewing, 5 to 8 minutes for a book. A chapter about 3 minutes and don't expect to have 20 words if you only have 3 minutes

You're being passive if you wait for answers to come you need to go after them and not expect them to come to you.

If you want to wait, wait... but you're not going to get asnwers. How do you think they will come to you if you wait?

Why don't you try them both and compare your results?

It's normal to lose them after one or 2 because the mind can only hold 7 plus or minus 2 bits of information. Write them down on the edge of your mind map if you want to remember them.

Does this mean i can choose not to remember the questions, as these questions are meant just to probe the inner mind and make connections?
