Personal Efficiency ( …put into practise )

1. Personal Efficiency ( …put intopractise )

2. Speed reading Situation, math, process

3. Training process • Program Mod 3 • Test • Theory • Exersizes • input / intro to technique • Youread • Youevaluate • repeat 6-7 techniques • Test

4. Theory, background & bad habits

5. Read & understand Most people • Read like when they where 10-12 years old • Read with an inner voice – aloud for themselves! • Read approx. 250 words/min. with a 60% understanding • That’s 0,6 x 250 = 150 efficient words/minute

6. Why we read slowly • Read like 10-12 year old • ”soren saw a cow…” • Hear & say learning • Phonic learning • Back skipping • Brain overcapacity means that you read things again • Eyes uses too many fix points in every line • Eyes focus for every ”fix” which takes time • 4-7 fix pr line

7. Read & understand • With reasonable training you achieve • 800-1000 words / minute • An understanding of +80% • Thats 0,8x1000= 800 efficient words/minute • More than FIVE times as much • Usually during seminar you gain + 50-75%

8. You do the math… • How much time does an employee use daily to • Read (relevante) mails _________min. • Read reports _________min. • Read updates _________min. • Read boards _________min. • Read_________ _________min. • Total _________min. Yr number of employees? _________empl. Yearly time spent ( x 200 days) _________min. -___%? _________Working days (an avg working day at your company costs… euros ?)

9. Type writerreading • Every sentence moves eye app. 7 times • We do 1 ”empty return reading” / line • Mouth/throat reads silently along • Brain has over capacity

10. Speed readingmethod

11. Advanced pacing

12. The techniques Try everyone & choose the bestone(s) for youtoday

13. Use of visual pacers / guides • Pen, finger, ruler, etc. • Pace in FRONT of the eyes focus • evt. under the line • Pace / force your speed up • Limits back skipping • Enhances concentration

14. Eliminate ”subvocalisation” • Read text /novel / book • Aim : Do NOT readaloud to yourself • Occupyyourvocalcords. Fx by… • Counting: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 … • Hum : eeeeeeeeeeeeee / hummmm • Going faster until it stops

15. read 2+ word at a time Aim: less focal points

16. read 2+ word at a time Yes .. You DO skip some words …

17. Read only the center of the page • Start at 2. or 3. word from margin • Stop at 2. or 3. word from margin

18. read 2 lines at a time

19. read on the way back

20. Advanced pacing (just to try it) • Z / S shape over the page • Use ”Pacing Zone” at center of page • 2 fingers or 5 cm plastic pacer • (evt. business card) • Peripherical understanding • Takes practice (frustration) • read 1 page • Mark keywords • Write that you remember • read page again - (faster) • Fill ”gaps”

23. Super speedread a complete book • The ”SUPERFAST METHOD” • read back of book • read list of content • Copy list of content to a ”Mindmap” or similar • Read all chapter ”Summaries” / evt. study questions • Mark keywords on each page • i.e. Who, what, why, how, where, when • Transfer keywords to mindmap / notes • Reflect on ”what do I still miss?” • Re-read (relevant parts of) book fast and fill ”gaps” • Now you have the essence of the book

24. Super speedread a complete book! • read 5 chapters at 15 sec/page or "S-read" it • Goal : Gather key themes / elements • Keywords • Persons • Similar • Reflect over each chapter at the end of each • Speculate over next chapter and what you expect find in it • After max 5 chapter - recap • What do I miss? • Reflect on possible answers • Evt. make a mindmap • Re-read fast • Fill ”gaps” • Make a mini summary of the 5 chapters • Repeat process for next 5 chapter • Summarize complete book

25. Measure the GAIN ___ hours/week ( ___ hours/year)

26. Effective reading speed Your effective reading speed = Understood percentage % x Your reading speed w.p.m. • Example : • You read fx. 250 w.p.m. and have 6 correct answers • 0,6 x 250 = 150 effective words / minute • Calculate your result and tell me please
