The photoreading book seems not say anything about the purpose ... it seems to me that i do not need a purpose

just photoreading, then do activate.

Is it correct?

See page 25 of the PhotoReading book. Topic titled "State your Purpose"

Alex

That does not answer my question.....

doesthat means I must have a purpose, and do all the step on page 25 for all magazines and journals as well?

Does it must be including purpose for every publication etc....

Thanks

WhiteEagle,

You must determine the purpose the why you're reading the article if you're going to read it right?

What information are you trying to get out of the article? (purpose for every article)

That way you can select which articles actually have something interesting to say. You can of course just read it to pass the time, but it sounds like you're trying to get something else out of it.

Photoreading without a purpose is like getting in a car and just driving, without any idea where you want to go.

Yes you can drive a car without a purpose and you will get a nice pleasant ride. You may enjot the ride immensely.

However, if you want to accomplish certain objectives, you must have a purpose. It is good to attach an outcome to your purpose statement. This makes it more active and precise. Consider what goal you will accomplish by acquiring the knowledge in the magazine article, publication, or books. How will that knowledge benefit you?! Your OTC mind will automatically find that point where your motivation is fueled the most for achieving your PURPOSE. It is just fantastic how it works!

If you even read a short 12 page article on something simple like the comparitive cost of HMOs (health maintenance organizations) versus PPO (paid provider options), even then, to get the most out of it, you must have a purpose why you are reading the article ( e.g. your purpose may be----- to answer your questions about what is most economical for your situation, to compare costs, to compare benefits, which is best for your specific health conditions, etc.. .

Or like caesar-gus stated there is nothing wrong with PRing just to pass the time and get practice with photofocus and the OTC thinking process.

Hope that clarifies things.

"May" is the operative word. It probably "Will" take a whole lot longer than necessary. 80/20.
