PhotoReading vs Speed ​​Reading - Which is better?

Question

Books

Not really an it theme. Even completely. But which is better, PhotoReading or Speed ​​Reading? So far, I read at a speed of ~ 150-200 words per minute. I would like to reduce the reading time to the shortest terms. I heard that PhotoReading allows you to "PhotoRead" ~25,000 words per minute, and speed reading ~2000 words per minute. Maybe someone owns one of the reading techniques? And what will he advise?

Answer 1

reading is like eating. do not be a glutton - harmful in every sense

Answer 2

- What is your typing speed?
- 900 characters per minute! But such garbage turns out!

Answer 3

All methods of speed reading are based on the omission of insignificant information.
Those. not the whole text is read, but only the most significant, everything else is superficially visible. In programming, for example, you can ignore almost everything that is not illustrated by the code.
In this way, you can read 500-page programming books for a month or two. The reason is that there is a lot of water in these books that you can skip. Especially if this is not the first book on a similar topic.

Answer 4

Brain resources for "assimilating" information are limited, a person is able to assimilate a certain amount of information in a certain period of time, everything above will be filtered out by the brain, so if you read quickly you will only get closer to the "overflow point" and then you will have to pause to digest what what was read. There is no point in chasing speed, you need to read at the speed with which the brain easily perceives information, no more, no less. Naturally, for different literature it is different, one thing is fiction, another is any kind of mathematical analysis.

Answer 5

And for what purpose and what kind of literature do you want to read so quickly? It’s just, in fact, it’s one thing to read something for yourself, for the soul, so to speak, even I can read such books in batches a day, but it’s quite another thing to read “working” or “educational” literature, where you need to carefully digest what you read .
Therefore, just wisely allocate your time - and there will be happiness.
