Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer PR Limit

Everyone says the more the better. Read 10 books a day. Read 20.

But, isn't there a limit on how much information one can process/assimilate a day/week? What if one can assimilate 5 books and the other 5 (or 15) are just waste of time? Is it possible to exhaust oneself with too much information. I mean, if you read 20 different books each day...I know subconscious is fast but is it that fast? Can it get clogged with too much PRing so other activities suffer?

HE HE no you've highly underestimated the unconscious mind Just to let you know, this week alone i've photoread 600 books, thats about 100books everyday and i seem as focused as ever if not even more focused.

Wow! 100 books/day? How much would you estimate that you retained? I'm very excited about learning to PR soon.

Elmo9,

Comic books with pictures don't count!

Yeah, how much of it did u retain? I'm interested bcos I'm a uni student n will mostly be using PR on textbooks.

Someone on this board suggested that at the beginning it's better to PR books that interest you. What if I start off with my textbooks? (which...ahem...do not always make a v. fascinating read) Will that affect how fast I learn to PR?

Again relating to using PR on textbooks, how do u keep the interest/motivation going? (Any ideas from elmo9 in particular? U must be v. good at it to go thru some 100 books/day!! I wish I could do 1/10 of that!!!)

You keep yourself interested / motivated because you need it. Necessity is the mother of invention.

One of Al Hichkoks actresses asked him "but what will keep me motivated?" His blithe reply: "the money"

One reason for starting with books that interest you is so you'll have something to use as your "purpose" when going through the steps. With textbooks, you probably have fairly specific purposes each week. Let the syllabus or the other handouts drive your purpose.

Just an idea that I read somewhere: while money is a good motivator, once u reach the level that u need (for example enough to buy a BMW) u're no longer driven to earn more. If I've remembered correctly, the writer then said that u will only keep going if u have a sincere belief that what u're doing will benefit/serve other ppl, make their lives better.

I haven't put it as well as the original, but this is the gist of what I remember. For me though, the end of year exams in the Summer are enough motivation to learn PR.

To your opening question:

Some people feel overwhelmed when PhotoReading large quantities of books. If so, just pull back. Give yourself a break. Other than that, we know of no one who has actually hit "the limit."

Thanks for your reply guys. They are just what I had hoped for.
I guess that saying sky is the limit doesn't apply in PRing. There's no limit. Limit, what is that?
