You're right, I only read the first half of that sentence before I skipped to the next sentence. I need to stop trying to speed read, I'm missing important details!
- timewasterthrow 3y agoI have a close friend that I work with often, that often talks about his speed reading abilities, and I kid you not, he basically misunderstands important info or concepts in basically everything he is tasked with reading. I'd slow down.
- gumby 3y agoIf it's worth reading, it's worth reading. "Speed reading", to the degree it's meaningful at all, only applies to a few cases: skimming repetitive things, like a collection of news articles on a topic; stuff full of filler (e.g. business books), and doing a quick overview of a scientific paper before going back to the top and reading it carefully and slowly. And honestly, in the first couple of cases: why read that stuff at all?
