Then after about 20 years, I thought people were asking me this question.

You're just saying it's not possible because you don't think it's possible.

What do you know about it, right?

So I'm like, okay, I'm going to try this out and see if I can do it.

And then I was able to do it and actually doubled my reading speed.

And I'll give you a real quick Cliff Notes version of how to speed read.

So when we're reading, what happens is, is something called visual regression.

You're reading a line or something.

The boy went to the store.

but your eye's not trained, it bounces around a lot, and it's called visual regression.

So the boy went to the store, your brain would read that, the boy went, the boy went to, the boy went to the store, it's bouncing around.

And people all say, Ron, I don't do that, I just read straight through.

You probably don't, but you're probably doing it so fast you don't realize it, but because you're doing it, it's slowing you down, right?

So the best speed reading strategy I could give a person, and there's many, but if I could give the best one, it's put your finger underneath the words that you're reading or a pencil and force your finger to follow the words.

People have probably seen speed reading people and they're going like this across the page.

What they're doing is they're forcing their eye to follow their finger.

So they're going like that.

And there's some other things that you, that alone might double your reading speed.

Yeah.

On a laptop or a computer, you could do it with the cursor.
