But when reading simply to acquire information, you likely want to absorb as much as you can as quickly as you can. In this video, blogger, entrepreneur and student of life Tim Ferriss shares some solid, actionable exercises to help you speed-read. Using these methods, Ferriss claims that you can increase your reading speed by at least 50%. To learn more, speed-read all about it.

Take-Aways

  • Before you start trying to read faster, measure your current reading speed so you can gauge your progress.
  • To accelerate your reading speed, use your peripheral vision to your advantage.
  • Use a “pacer” to keep your eyes moving without “back skipping.”
