The word multitasking is familiar to anyone who’s hooked up to the 21st-century whirl of technology we call “daily life” these days. You eat your breakfast while listening to the morning news and answering e-mail; you listen to a co-worker on the phone while you’re skimming through the department meeting outline your boss just handed you and mentally planning the presentation you’re going to give. While it might seem like you’re being efficient, you might in truth be slowing yourself down.
Studies have shown that if you’re focused on one task and finish it before moving on to the next one, you actually end up going faster overall through the entire set of tasks, because you don’t have to go back and fix things you forgot. When you’re paying attention, you won’t have to reread text, or ask someone to repeat something. Obviously, if you don’t have to go back and read material again, you’re saving time, no matter how quickly you read it in the first place.
You can also save time by focusing on two questions before you begin: why are you going to read this text, and what will you do with the information? If the answer to these questions is “I’m not sure” then do you really need to read it? Save your time, energy, and concentration for the materials you really need to go over.
Keep your focus steady while you’re reading, and do your best to not think about unrelated things (doctor’s appointments, dinner plans, etc.). Any extraneous information in your mind will interfere with your comprehension and retention of the text you’re reading. On the other hand, thinking about related things in your experience helps retention. For example, if you’re reading an article on cooking while thinking about making those dishes for dinner, your visualization will add to your ability to recall the facts, ideas, or even an entire recipe. You won’t have to go back to refer to the information later.
To sum it up, speed reading isn’t just about your reading speed – it’s about the time you save by keeping focused and not having to go back to read something again.
