Our Challenge:
In the workplace, there is a Constant Demand to read and absorb enormous amounts of data and technical Information.
Students have large amounts of information they need to read and remember so they can pass exams with a high score.The challenge here is often the retention time is very short, which creates a perceived need to really cram before a test.
This can create loads of stress for everyone concerned and may damage positive attitudes. It also can create some fractured relationships because, there just does not seem to be enough time to get things done and still have adequate time to spend with family and friends.
If, You Are a Normal Average American:
You have a reading speed of approximately 250 Words per minute. So, it is quite easy to see why there never seems to be enough time to get even the most important things read.
It would seem that a reasonable solution to this problem would be to take a course on Speed Reading. The facts show that while, it is true speed reading does allow you to cover a lot more data and, it does increase your retention rate for a little while, like with regular reading you soon forget the lion's share of what you thought you had learned.
I had come to the conclusion that this was just my own problem. But, when I really started researching, it became evident that almost everyone has the same exact challenge.
The average person, has forgotten 50% (or more) by the time they have finished whatever it is they are reading, and 48 hours later, they have forgotten 90% of that. So, what you end up with (if you are average) is approximately only about 5% of what you have been studying.
What is the answer?
I personally have tried a few memory courses, without a great degree of long lasting improvement.
So, you can probably understand my elation when I found out about a mental photography program which, could speed up my reading and, really help my memory with a higher degree of comprehension.
It had been around for several years but up until recently, it has only been taught to the public through seminars. Which as you know, incur a considerable expense with travel, accommodations etc.
According to their many testimonials they do a great job teaching people how to deal with a plethora of obstacles, which seems to affect all of us to some degree. They claim we are all born with this ability, but most of us lose it when we learn to read. So, it is a matter of relearning the skill.
If, you think I sound pretty positive about this, you are right. This is because even my family and friends have commented on the improvement in my memory and retention. For myself, I have noticed an increase in my ability to handle a larger workload in less time.
I hope this information is beneficial to you.
