After selecting the most important material by skimming through textbooks in books, it's important to pay close attention to the paragraphs that you selected. Because you're already selected the most important paragraphs and information you have already watched. You need to start focusing on that. Remember, you're reading to find good arguments, explanation and crucial points that will help you to get your general knowledge up formed in built up. Studying is a skill that you can improve when you use the right methods and the proper framework and it is far more effective to read a few sections, a few very important sections and take good notes on them than to read dozens of pages while you feel warrant entire. The whole process I'm teaching will make you study anything much quicker and faster and Better, which is basically what we all are looking for.

And so it's very important that you separate the scheming phase from the reading phase. And because this class is about being effective, you have to focus very intensively on both of those phases, both in the scheming phase and on the reading phase. Of course, reading will take you much more time and focus, but it's also important that you previously select the most important material and paragraphs. So in the reading phase, you basically read the material and you have to take good notes on it. So make sure you're not constantly being interrupted. Keep the biggest source of distraction away from you your phone Of course, put some classical music on in start reading and taking good notes.

Because reading is a very important phase of studying and learning anything. I decided to include here a bonus video on how you can read faster but before teaching you anything About faster reading, I want to say that reading is a skill. And so if you want to read faster, it's important that you actually spend some time reading. It's also important that you have a good range of vocabulary. So you won't lose much time thinking about what does this word mean or how it connects with the other sentences, but be aware that you will be able to read some sections faster than others because some contain much more detail and more difficult vocabulary to understand. Also, keeping the material before reading it is a very important step on making the reading process faster.

So you read faster when you skim the material first, because your brain will be already primed for the topics that you now want to read. So it will be much easier to understand those topics. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter if you can read three pages in 20 seconds. If you didn't take anything from it. Remember, you are reading Because you want to truly understand and learn the concepts and not just go through them very quickly without understanding nothing. And so reading speed doesn't really matter if you're not understanding the material.

Anyway, there are three tips that I consider to be the most important ones. When it comes to reading speed. The first one is to use a pacer like your finger or a pen. So basically you run your Pacer or your finger from the beginning of the line till the ends while you move your eyes and you read Of course, this technique of using a pacer such as your finger immediately increases the speed of your reading. And the best thing is that this technique doesn't make you lose any comprehension at all. Our eyes move in jumps.

So if you close an eye and you try to move your other eye, in the straight line, your eye will jump in not following this straight line so it will jump in. So when you use a page You are preventing your eyes from jumping to align to another which will make your read slower. The second tip is to read when you are focused, energized and productive. This tip might seem odd and useless. But it's very important during the days that are times when you feel very productive and focused. And there are other periods of the day where you just want to lay down and check social media.

This is basically our intern clock working. And when you understand your internals casual, you can start to schedule different activities of your study sessions in different times of the day. In my case, I always feel more focused and energized in the morning. So I like to read during that time. So what we are doing here is scheduling different phases of the signing process into different times and periods of the day, because we are basically optimizing our days to our study sessions. Which is a great way to make them more efficient.

If you look at my finger, you can still see my hand right here and right here. But when we read, we read from the beginning to the end of the sentence. And so we lose our peripheral vision, what you can do to improve that is to trace the lines in the book. So what you do is you draw a line, leaving a little bit of space in the rights and doing the same thing on the left. And basically, what you do is you only read between the lines. So it's like you ignore these two parts.

But actually, because we have a peripheral vision, we can still understand in read what is in the left in the right, and in the left side. This is a great way to increase your reading speed, but I admit that it's something that I only do with some books, especially from having a physical copy of the book. And I don't do it with all books like I told you, but it's still in a bit more time to Assuming especially if you decide to draw the two lines in every page of the book, what you can do is try to ignore the first word on the left and on the right side of the sentences and steal, you're going to read them and to understand what it says because you we have peripheral vision, I can tell you that most of the reading speed techniques that I learned don't work and they are time consuming in the make me lose a lot of comprehension.

And so I'm not going to cover them here, the ones that are suggested using a pacer reading in the optimal time of your day. And also, drawing two lines and basically focusing on the center or on the middle of those lines are my favorite techniques to read faster without losing any comprehension, which is very important, of course.
