Speed Reader
As an avid reader, I am always looking for ways to absorb and comprehend more information. Naturally, one of the best ways to increase the amount of information that you are exposed to it by decreasing the amount of time that it takes you to read the information-this is where speed reading comes in.
When I first looked into how to increase speed reading, I thought that the answer would be simple: read faster. In fact, there are many different techniques and skill sets that can be learned to help you read information more quickly while maintaining a high level of retention. Like with most other skills, however, speed reading requires practice to hone your skills and see substantial improvement.
Setting Yourself Apart as a Leader
In today’s rough and tumble job market, it takes a unique skill set to get an edge over the competition. Employers are always looking for people with the ability to think on their feet and act decisively under stressful situations. In other words, problem solving skills are a highly desirable attribute. Luckily, problem solving is a basic part of our human instinct. Just as our ancestors had to learn to forage for food and outwit their prey on the hunt, we are charged with solving modern day problems.
In order to tap into that primal instinct of reacting quickly and correctly to a problem, we need to keep our minds active. Brain function and efficiency are not constants that can never be improved. On the contrary, the more we take part in problem solving games and theoretical scenarios, the better honed our brain is to deal with the real thing. If you’re able to think in a nimble manner and make crucial decisions, you will be viewed as a leader rather than a follower.
Doing What Comes Naturally
Did you ever have a conversation and all of a sudden you found yourself off track or had many new things to talk about? Ever sit in a lecture and say to yourself, “This sounds like…..”? It’s our brain CALing! By CALing: Connecting, Associating, and Linking old to new information our brains are doing what they were designed to do, naturally.
So, based on our own unique life experiences any sound, smell, image, taste. touch or emotion CALs with lots and lots of other data. CALing is how the brain functions; it ties all our data together.
Surprise!! Our brains ability to Connect, Associate and Link is INFINITE!
So, if this happens easily and naturally, what could be the result if we worked at CALing? Is this not a way to improve your memory?
