Website of the Day – ReadBag.com

Friday, May 9th, 2008

This post will be part of a series I will try to do every day on cool websites and applications that I find. Most of these will be reading or productivity related with an occasional divergence to something completely random.

Earlier this week I came across, ReadBag.com. This is a great website if you do a lot of reading online. If you’re like me, and do a lot of reading online, sometimes you don’t have the time to read everything in one sitting. You might resort to bookmarking the link in your browser, emailing it to yourself or adding it to some social bookmarking site.

Readbag.com puts nifty spin on bookmarking while making it ridiculously easy. Below is a quick demo I did to show you some of the cool features.

Know of any other cool websites for readers? Let us all know by commenting on this post.

Speed Reading & Productivity: Some Quick Words

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

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.
