FOCUSFOCUS!
"Focusing is about saying NO"
To Facebook
Or NOT to
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus
on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the
hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm
actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have
done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” – Steve Jobs

SPEED READING TIPS
you must
NEVER FORGET!1 Focus on Speed First!
Your comprehension
level will improve as
you PRACTICE!
Focus on increasing your reading speed first. Don’t worry if your comprehension level becomes
lower, as you speed read at this stage. The comprehension level will improve as you practice.2 Use a Guide!
Finger (s) Pen Paper
Regression and the duration of fixations can be minimized by using a guide. Keep your eye
fixation above the tip of the guide used (dot on a paper). The guide should be used to maintain
or increase the reading speed.3 Minimize Regression!
To improve reading speed you must resist regression. When you force yourself to NOT jump
back, you will increasingly become more focused. Whatever important that you missed or don’t
understand early on is usually repeated again or understood later. So, don’t worry!
Image (Reading speeds): http://www.noahlaith.com/7-benefits-speed-reading/
Reducing regression tips: http://bit.ly/1qbyHPD4 Increase Vision Span!
Increase your vision span by processing more words in an eye fixation. Start with 2 words, and
then increase as you practice (5 words, one line, one paragraph, etc.). Also, reduce the time for
each fixation point as you practice (1 to 0.5 to 0.25 seconds).
Image (Reading speeds): http://www.noahlaith.com/7-benefits-speed-reading/5 Smart Eye Movement!
Start speed reading with 1 word in from the first and last word of each line, and end 1 word in
from the last word. Then try 2,3, 4 words, etc. As your peripheral vision improves, you will
accelerate your reading speed significantly by smartly reducing the time for eye movement.

Speech
150 – 250 WPM
Stop reading aloud and reduce internal speech, as it usually limits your reading speed to 150 –
250 WPM. You can distract your internal speech by repeating a particular phrase, word or
number(s). Example: Saying ‘1,2,1,2’ while speed reading to distract the internal voice.3

Primacy & Recency Effect
When asked to recall a list of items in any order (free recall), people tend to begin recall with the
end of the list, recalling those items best (the recency effect). Among earlier list items, the first
few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items (the primacy effect).

Med Mnemonics
Mnemonics are learning memory techniques that help learners recall larger pieces of
information, especially in the form of lists like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases, etc.
Medical Mnemonics: http://www.medicalmnemonics.com/ SODA: http://apotential.wordpress.com/medical-mnemonics/MEMORY PALACE
The Method of Loci (Memory Palace) is a method of memorizing information by placing each item to
be remembered at a point along an imaginary journey. The information can then be recalled in a
specific order by retracing the same route through the imaginary journey.

A Peg system (Mnemonic) is a technique for memorizing lists, or information that must be
recalled in a particular order. They work by associating information you already know well with
the new facts you want to remember. A "peg" is just a mental hook on which you hang the
information. This hook acts as a reminder to help you mentally retrieve information.

“Teaching is LEARNING TWICE.”
- Joseph Joubert
Talk to yourself or teach someone else what you have just learned (read).Memorize on an Empty Stomach…
“…We are more alert and keyed up to both
remember and recall more readily
when stressed by hunger.”
- Stephen Bloom
*Yale University study (2006)
Wise to revise for and sit exams on an empty stomach as hunger can
help with the creation and retrieval of memories.

YOU CAN DO IT!IS
EASY!
SPEED READING…REMEMBER! Intensify your FOCUS before speed reading. To SPEED READ: Use a guide; Minimize regression; Reduce fixation points; Increase vision span and use smart eye movement; Don’t read aloud and distract internal speech; and Use speed reading tools to practice and track your progress. Use SQ3R Study method for better UNDERSTANDING. Use MEMORY techniques to remember more of what you have learned. Use social CURATION tools to make sense of information overload. Speed Reading is not enough! Strive to BECOME…
