How to read more in less time?

Reading is one thing we all do. Whether you read a blog (Just like now), read files for your office or simply read a book, you most likely do some type of reading every day. But we, of course, don’t have much time to read, which makes reading small articles very time-consuming. If you want to read faster while maintaining reading comprehension, check out these tips.

1. Preview What You Are Reading Before Starting Reading, Preview what you are gonna read. Just as when you start watching a movie, you watch its trailer, This trailer gives you what is the main topic of the movie, a summary of the movie. This for example in an article can be like reading the Bold Letters of the topic or simply reading the conclusion of the topic.

2. Don’t Reread Don’t reread the same words. Most of us get confused within the sentence that we read, because of this we try to read that line again and again. This decreases the efficiency of our reading speed. Try to read the whole page in one go and then see whether you understood the page or not. This definitely will increase your reading speed fastest.

3. Don’t Read Every Word Most of us can read more than 2 words (About 1.5-inch width) at the same time. So, if we can read more then why not, try this habit forever. Yeah, I know 1.5-inch of space is not very much, especially if you read in the big font but at the same time it could be a lot if you read try to read 1.5 inches in a dictionary at the same time. So what I recommend is to try to put your finger in chunks of words and then read.

4. Set A Timer Set a timer for one minute, reading normally as the time dwindles. When the timer goes off, note how many pages you have read. Then again start with a new time and then record your progress now. If you record some progress in a few rounds, then it’s awesome, but if not, try this for a few days and then you will surely see some benefits.

5. Write A Summary When you are planning to read the same thing again shortly, you should definitely try to summarise what you read. It is significantly helpful when you will start reading that again. Write a few sentences to summarize what you read, and answer any questions you had before you started reading. By spending a few minutes after reading to think, synthesize the information, and write what you learned, you’ll solidify the material in your mind and have better recall later.

6. Use A Marker If you get confused when you are reading or slip between words when reading. If your answer is yes then you should surely use a marker to mark important lines, difficult words & things you find difficult. This works more efficiently when you have to use that information for a long period of time. For example, some files that you need in your office.

7. Always Set A Goal We all know, Setting up a goal helps a lot. It increases your productivity a lot. Holding yourself accountable will better ensure you stick with your reading and your timer tests. Give yourself a goal of a certain number of pages to read each day/week/etc., and stick to it. When you reach it, treat yourself. This will ensure that you will have fun while doing what you like.
