Hi Alex and others,
I PR a book on Software Project management (among others) daily last 3 days. Yesterday after PR, I just went through the book noting the chapter headings, titles etc. catching trigger words. I selected this one for activation since this is a basic intro level book.
Today I PR it again and then postviewed it. And wow ! The material looks "known" to me. I guess PRing the book has given me a good overall feel(big picture) of the book. Now when I read a few lines, I read faster and understand it better. I get a feeling that "I know this stuff !!!". Thats PhotoReading at work I guess
Even if I now just read the book in a linear fashion, I would finish it faster and understand it better than if I had just read it linearly without PRing it first. (Of Course I wouldnt do this... just an observation).
Now this is my problem : Since the book is highly technical in nature, I am treating each chapter as a book itself. And I have this strong urge to read all the words in the chapter. Since every paragraph introduced a new term or principle related to S/W management. I don't understand how I will have conscious awareness of a particular priciple if I have not "read" it. When I read it, I understand it faster but if I dont read it, I feel I wont know that it even exists in my Sub-Conscious mind.
Will the info I don't actually "read" just come automatically to conscious awareness when I need it say in an interview or during my work?
What do you suggest I do ? Should I resist this temptation?
Thx,
thePhotoReader.
