Although these tips won’t have you reading like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, they will help you get an immediate boost in speed. Speed reading does take practice, but these are the simplest things you can do to start. (more…)

So what is speed reading? I teach speed reading workshops to college students and business professionals and the most common question I get is: “What’s the trick?” Everyone wants to know what’s the secret to speed reading. The truth is, there are no tricks and it takes practice, just like anything else.

My goal in writing this blog is offer useful tips to those interested in learning speed reading without all the ridiculous hype. And since speed reading is a productivity tool, I also plan to sharing various websites that I find to be helpful in boosting my productivity and efficiency.

There are a ton of interesting websites out there (Web2.0 is the new buzz word of the year) and I hope to separate for you the ones that can actually make you more productive in your everyday life.

This blog will be geared mostly toward college students and business professionals, but I welcome any other readers that are interested in learning more about speed reading. Especially those with a passion for reading.
