Speed Reading
I'm going to try and increase my reading speed. I tested myself twice last
night and came up with reading about 297 words per minute. That is on the
higher end of average, average being 2-300 words per minute. Then I did an
exercise to increase my reading speed. After the exercise I tested myself
again...407 words per minute. That puts me in the top 1% of the entire
population for reading speed. I picked a goal of reading at 1,000 words per
minute. Get this. To get to that rate you have to practice reading at...3,000
words per minute. At 1,000 words per minute I could read a 200 page book in 25
minutes. Whereas right now it will take me 4 hours and 21 minutes to read. I'm
going to try and improve and see if I can't increase my speed. Who wouldn't
love increasing their speed, while maintaining comprehension/enjoyment? You'd
be able to experience many more stories and insights that way so i'll keep you
posted.
