How to read quickly and effectively, how to read quickly?

In the classic book, "How to Read a Book", reading books are divided into four levels: basic reading, critical reading, analytical reading, and thematic reading. Among them, the basic reading requirements are the simplest, and literacy is sufficient.

However, I personally think that it is a bit inappropriate to use critical reading as a slightly more demanding second level.

Although it feels like speed reading doesn't take a lot of time, it's an action that can be completed by flipping through it. But if you want to be effective and rewarding, you still need to master some skills and practice. Especially in today's increasingly fast-paced life, I really find a long time to sit down and read, I'm afraid I can only see it in "other people's homes".

Especially as a working mother, every time I see the scene of "holding a fragrant tea and turning a good book", I will be envious. Well, learning to "read quickly" efficiently is also one of my tips for outputting more than 100 articles last year.

Read with purpose.

Just now we've been talking about the concept of "speed reading".

For example, if I take a book and go through it from beginning to end, is that okay? It doesn't seem to be very reliable.

So, what exactly is "speed reading"?

In the book, the author gives the definition of "dabbling in a large amount of information in a short period of time and being able to produce something".

At the end of this definition, the reader is asked to be "productive". That is to say, before reading, we first have to ask ourselves a question: what kind of knowledge do I want to gain from this reading, information and method......Wait a minute.

With this question in mind, go for "speed reading". At the same time, because most of the **, biographies and other works, there is no clear problem point. Therefore, it is not suitable for speed reading.

In the face of works full of artistic conception and feelings, we still need to settle down and slowly experience it.

With the purpose of reading, it's time to open the book and read it.

What exactly to look at?

To discover keywords, you must first know that there are keywords. This section is very similar to the examinal reading in How to Read a Book. We will quickly browse the title, preface, table of contents, introduction to the publication, and passages related to the purpose of reading.

For example, I read this book "High Performance Reading" today to find a way to "read quickly". Then, after reading the table of contents and the preface, I realized that "Chapter 4 – Speed Reading Skills" met my purpose, so I went straight to Chapter 4 to find the answer.

Seeing this, you may say, skipping chapter 123, will you not be able to understand it? Believe me, if you choose a practical book, such a jump reading, 90% will not affect the basic understanding. If you find that you really don't understand a concept and need to understand it in detail, you can turn back to the front to find the answer.

Reading in the morning has a better memory, the air is good, and after sleeping well the night before, you will be able to read well in the morning when you are full of energy.

Clause. 1. Segmented reading.

We are guaranteed at least 20 minutes of reading time a day, and we must not be influenced by the diplomatic environment, so that we can read better. It doesn't matter if you're a focused person or not, use segmented reading so that we don't need to read all the time. For example, after lunch, after dinner, or before going to bed, we use a few minutes to read.

The second point is goal-oriented reading.

If we want to acquire the knowledge we want through reading, we can clarify our purpose and then read in detail in a more targeted way. In fact, the content of each book may not be exactly what we want, and if we don't filter it, then it is easier to waste time. Purposeful reading will make us enjoy the process of reading.

The third point is recorded reading.

When we can't remember, we can open the notebook and read it again, so that we don't have to re-read the book. Recorded reading can greatly improve the efficiency of our reading.

Fourth, interest reading.

Many people understand that reading is a good thing for themselves, but they have no interest in it, and they give up after not holding on for long. It is said that interest is the best teacher, so we can first choose some books that we are interested in, keep reading, and wait until we develop good reading habits, we have taken the first step in reading.

Fifth, immersive reading.

Everyone has their own reading habits, and only when they are comfortable can they devote themselves to reading. Some people like to read in a quiet environment; There are also people who like to listen to the light ** sleepiness to read. Therefore, it is necessary to find the right reading habit for yourself, so that it is easier to immerse yourself in reading.

If you want to read fast, you can adjust it from the following aspects.

When we are reading, we often find that we are serial, or our eyes stay in one place, and it takes us a long time to react and then continue reading. Reading in this way is definitely slow and inefficient. In this regard, when we read, we can use a pen or finger as a guide, that is, put the finger or pen under the text to move quickly, guiding our eyes to move quickly, so as to improve the reading speed.

Try to move as smoothly as possible and don't pause too often. This method generally doubles the reading speed.

In addition, except for books such as literature and philosophy, most books usually contain only 20 or 30 percent of the important content, so we don't have to read it slowly, word by word, sentence by sentence. We need to learn the "Essentials Reading Method". Here's how:

Spend a few minutes reading the cover, table of contents, preface and afterword, and by reading these, you will have a preliminary understanding of the book; Then read the paragraphs and headings in the chapter, and find the important content or the content you care about. After that, according to the actual situation and needs, the important content found in the previous reading will be read in detail.

In addition to guided speed reading and bullet point reading, a better way to do this is the "Elite Extra Speed Reading Method". Many people usually only read one or two words at a glance, so that they can usually only read two or three hundred words a minute, and at most no more than five hundred words. But if you can read seven or eight or more than ten words at a glance, will you be able to read one or two thousand, two or three thousand words in one minute?

"Elite speed reading memory training" is a tool to train this kind of reading, the specific method is not a sentence or two sentences can be said clearly, if you want to learn, you can understand it yourself. This is the way I use reading now.

In addition to these tips and tricks, you also need to know that reading more is a key to improving reading efficiency. People who read a lot usually have a higher reading efficiency; And people who read less often have poor reading efficiency and ability. Because you read fewer books and don't have enough knowledge, a lot of knowledge in the book is new to you, and every knowledge needs to be thought for a long time to understand and understand what it means.

Because I can't read and can't read, the speed of reading is slow and the comprehension rate is poor.

We should pay attention to efficiency and improve efficiency in learning.

1. Ensure 8 hours of sleep every day - don't stay up late at night and go to bed regularly. Going to bed early and waking up early can reduce the evening revision time by 1 hour and increase it in the morning. Insist on taking a nap at noon. Adequate sleep and full energy are the basic requirements for improving efficiency.

2. Be attentive when studying - play happily when you play, and study seriously when you learn. It's not a good idea to sit at your desk all day long. When you learn to a certain extent, you have to rest and replenish your energy.

When you're not studying, be sure to take a break. But when studying, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly and use both hands and brains.

3. Insist on physical exercise - the body is the "capital" of learning. Without a good body, no matter how great your ability is, you can't exert it. Therefore, no matter how busy you are studying, you can't ignore relaxation and exercise.

Some students neglect exercise for the sake of studying, their bodies are getting weaker and weaker, and they feel more and more unable to study. How can this improve learning efficiency?

4. Take the initiative to learn - Only by learning actively can you feel the fun and become more and more interested in learning. With interest, efficiency increases imperceptibly. Some students have a bad foundation, and they always have problems that they don't understand in the learning process, and they are ashamed to ask others for advice, and the result is that they are depressed and absent-minded.

At this time, the only way is to ask people for advice, and if you don't understand something, you must understand it, and accumulate it bit by bit in order to make progress. In this way, efficiency can be gradually improved.

5. Maintain a happy mood and get along with classmates - have a good mood every day, work neatly, actively participate in learning, and be naturally efficient. On the other hand, combining the individual and the collective, maintaining a mutual support relationship with classmates, and uniting and enterprising, can also improve learning efficiency.

6. Pay attention to organization - During the learning process, put the textbooks, homework and materials of each subject together in a regular manner. When you're ready to use, you know where it's at a glance. And when some students look up a certain book, they look around and disappear.

Time passed in a hectic and anxious search. I don't think students who are organized will learn well.

7. Learning classification - For the knowledge that has been learned, it should be mastered and reviewed in a timely manner, the more knowledge it is, the more difficult it is to separate, and the speed of memory forgetting will be very fast, and it should be classified. It is good to separate the two categories, one is the knowledge that is not easy to grasp, if you want to fully grasp it, you must understand and take the trouble to review; The second is to master it completely by one's own memory. So, be sure to separate.
