LONGECITY

While waiting for the day that I can noot it up, I've been practicing speed reading. I want to fully utilize my noot experience in hopes to get out of this life slump, not depression, more like money issues. Anyway, when I was taught as a child to speed read, it was completely wrong. They had you try to read as fast as possible, it had nothing to do with proper speed reading like these modern apps are teaching. Then in high school they had you read completely fucked up. They, being a single person, would have me read the first paragraph of a page, then the first and last sentence of every paragraph there after, then read the last paragraph of the second page. Rinse and repeat. This might work great for story books, but technical books where the details are in those sentences skipped, would not fly. But this is where these apps are great.

With the app I am using it teaches proper speed reading technique by loading up to 3 to 4 works on a single line, nothing else. At 400 wpm, I am reading and understanding it all, at 500 wpm, it flashes by. The other part is it divides each page into three columns and teaches you to try to focus on the center of the 2 to 3 word block. That is the other thing, when I would read the way I would my eyes would shift and I would have to start over. With this you are nearly absorbing words by just staring, your eyes are not moving at all. This is also easy for me because when I stare at one spot for a while, everything gets really big. When I am in an interview, it's really awkward because the interviewer's head gets gigantic, like a fat head in a video game.

I think anyone wanting to use noots to enhance reading should practice speed reading to assist in their goals. Complete focus and speed reading, you would fly through any book like nothing.
