Alchemy for Managers Weekly Tip – guest post from Paul Matthews.
There is a deluge of information coming at us from all directions, and much of it involves reading.
You need to maximise your reading efficiency to deal with all this information effectively, and get what you need from it.
There are some simple things you can do to become more efficient with your reading, even before you start seeking to read faster.
Rather than speed reading, you might find it quicker to improve your reading efficiency.
1. Read less! Be selective and prioritise your reading.
2. Preview to determine if it is worth investing time and effort to read a particular item.
3. Make reading an enjoyable habit – the more you read, the better you get at it.
4. Keep a reading file of articles and reports to fill gaps in your time schedule.
5. Read in the best environment – physically and mentally.
