Instant LearningThe secret of learning by the geniuses I have met is too easy.
Remember the essence, and forget the trivia. Wait – and knowing
the difference.Some quote Vilfredo Pareto, the Italian economist, and his 80/20 law.
It reads – 20% are the Vital-Few, while 80% are the Trivial-Many.
You may view it as 80% of your success and prosperity comes from
20% of your ideas. Some reverse it: 20% of your salespeople produce
80% of your bottom-line. For the past century – the Pareto law rules.Skim-Scan-ScreenThose who hear the rhyme in these dozen speed reading rules – will
remember to use these nuggets of wisdom to 3x their reading and
2x their long-term memory.Go1. "You Snoo-ze – you lo-se!"Attention – Parietal Lobe and RAS – Reticular Activating System.2. "Use it – or lose it!" - Practice rules!3. "What we re-sist – must per-sist!" - StressBusting.4. "Re-peat – or become Ob-So-Lete!" - Repetition-and-memory.5. "To Con-cen-trate – mentally visualize the figure – Eight!Focus: In-the-Flow (Zone).6. "See the Z, and think of Three! Scanning with the Diagonal movement.7. "Chunk-ing – is double and triple divid-ing! – Peripheral-Vision.8. "Soft-Foc-us rules – hard-foc-us causes visual – Pus!" – Read the
Upper-Haves of words and sentence – only.9. "Comprehen-tion - comes after reading strategies are - Done!"Serial-Processing – first-things – first.10. "Hear - Speed-up! - and let your brain - Catch-Up!"Your eyes instinctively follow a moving object – your Pacer.11. "Sub-vocal-i-za-Tion is defeated by a - Hum!"The under-sound of humming – defeats sub-vox in 21 days.12. "Regress-ION causes snailing in the - long-RUN!"Don't return to the scene of the crime. Plow-ahead.VORSome of us feel better when we learn neuroscientific terminology – it
offers credibility.Vestibulo-Ocular-Reflex is part of our auditory cortex even though it
operates our reading vision. The secret of speed reading is enlarging our retinal bandwidth from six letters to 36 letters in width. It permits speed readers
to decode up to six-words in each chunk, instead of the single-word (average of six-letters), of normal snailers.The VOR stabilizes images on the retina during our head-movements. It produces eye-movements in the direction OPPOSITE to the head movement, and preserves the image in the CENTER of our visual field.How?We activate our peripheral-vision and soft-focus through training in eye-movement strategies. If you are still reading randomly, without a pacer to direct your eyes – not making use of the instinct – our eyes follow a moving object – you are watching programs from a black-and-white television set.The difference is reading-and-remembering three-books, articles and reports, when your snailing peers can hardly finish even - one.RegressionScientific research over the past half-century proves that the average college graduate regresses – loses her place on the page, or comprehension of the
authors ideas – up to 20 times per page of non-fiction text.When regression is still a standard part of your reading strategy – you decode text
as slow as a snail moves. You get bored easily and regardless of your degrees – your
learned-helplessness causes you to hate – and avoid reading.There is a solution to a problem that you learned in 3rd grade and reinforce daily.
It consists of two parts: always use a Pacer when you read, and use your will to be
persistent and determined to reduce and eliminate regressions.Endwords
There are three elements to motivation:a) Your head – cognition – training and using your left-brain.b) Your heart – emotion - drives our decisions and behaviors.c) Your hand – practical experience – brings knowledge through doing.One of the three generally dominant our personal drives. The optimal motivation
is combining a), b) and c).There are three methods to rapid learning:a) Learning through observation – the apprentice program.b) Lecture – hearing how and why the thing should be done.c) Trial-and-Error, cause-and-effect, and stimulus and response.You are auto-didactic – self-taught – in 90% of your learning
experiences. Interactive learning rules.We learn to love and use only one of the three, yet using all three-methods slices
your learning-curve by up to 50%. We suggest you choose the better way.See ya,copyright © 2006H. Bernard Wechslerwww.speedlearning.orghbw@speedlearning.orgAuthor of Speed Reading For Professionals, published by Barron's; former business partner
