Before we move forward, you need to know what's holding you back. There's five bad habits we learned when we were children. That's holding up reading speed back. The first habit we're gonna look at is aggression. Now, we've all probably got to the end of the page and wondered, why if I just read or even worse and have a sentence or one of what we've just read. reason for that is a lack of focus.
Surprisingly, we spend about 30% of our time reading during the question. Now question typically is beneficial for some topics, and I would love it a little bit further, further on in the course. However, for a lot of the time, we want to eliminate them. Next, we move on to our focus. Our mind wanders when we beat slowly. Therefore, we struggle focusing.
One quick way we can fix that is by increasing our reading speed, if you imagine nine miles per hour, you're gonna have to pay attention. As opposed to driving a famous power, we can look out the window The bad habit is suffer causation. And the one a lot of people struggle to combat. That's a little voice inside your head. As you read, I'm probably reading to read the notes on the side. This voice is great when we're reading words that we don't quite understand.
But when we say a stop sign, we don't say the words stop. In our head. We see the word, but we don't have it. And this is something that we can have to train for the session. simple stuff like low level distractions, such as passing the tongue to top your mouth as you read, or tapping on the table as you go along will distract that little voice in your head and focus more on the match by hand. The fourth one is fixations.
Our eyes bounce as we read, or the average person has between 10 to 12 fixations per line, bouncing from every word. Imagine that's extremely strenuous on your eyes. So we need to make your eyes more efficient, so you can read longer, and finally, your peripheral vision which is why At some optimal level right now, you can see me but you can also see the notes towards the left of me. However, when we read we read one word at a time, and that is limiting us. If we can read one way to see if a word I beside, imagine how fast we can then be. We then can take free fixations per line.
Working our way, get a bigger picture a lot quicker. I'd be ready to break some habits.
