Now that you've completed (successfully, of course) the Speed Reading Mind Tool, here are some reminder Dos and Don'ts.

Dos

Keep practicing. The more you read, and employ the speed reading techniques, the more improvement you will see.

Use a pointer. It will keep you from losing your place.

Make objectives each time you speed read. Ask yourself what you want to learn before you start.

Listen to music. Build a little collection of classical to help create the right conditions.

Get in the zone. Know which relaxation techniques work for you.

Don'ts

Speed read when reading for pleasure. You'll miss all the details that make literature so magical.

Read every word. Learn to pick out the key words and phrases.
