Seven years ago, I was convinced that my eyes were becoming superhuman. The pencil told my eyes where to focus, like a strict director’s baton. The mind made sure that no words were actually uttered – focusing instead on the text, and on moving my eyes in a frog-like fashion from one place on the text to another. Page after page. It felt good. It felt like progress. Apparently, it wasn’t worth all that much. Now that the sound of the Great Speed Reading Debunk echoes across the internetz, what can you do instead? Try these with me.
