Exercises for the lucidity of mind narration
The saying “Unclearness of the thoughts is unclearness of the
narration” is widely known, though not everything is so poor. Any kind of mess can be
swept up by putting everything in order.
If we need to put the table in order we sort out the papers, look through
them, place them into the different files. We dust the table and some time later the order
is restored.
The similar method can be applied to putting the mind in order.
I, for example, combine putting my thoughts in order with composing the
articles. I do it in the following way:
- I outline a plan or just thoughts, associated with the subject. (
I
just put down everything that comes into can be expressed by two words)
- I make up a paragraph on every thought.
- I read the text and imagine what came out of the said “mess”.
- I formulate the subject of the article more precisely
- I systematize the texts and throw out everything that is not in line with the subject.
- I return several times to the text to arrange the “flow of the text”.
This is a simple method of putting your thoughts in order.
Tips for increasing reading speed
- As the eyes move across the page they make a series of jerky movements. Whenever they
come to rest on a word that is called a fixation. Most people fixate once on each word
across a line of print.
- Take in more words with each fixation. Try to avoid focusing at groups of 2 to 3 words.
For instance, this sentence could be grouped in this manner:
for instance / this sentence / could be grouped / in this manner
- Make our eyes move faster.
- Familiarize yourself with new words so you don't get stuck on them when you read them
again. Work on vocabulary improvement.
- If you find yourself moving your lips when reading, force yourself to read faster so
that you can no longer move your lips.
- Read more! 10-20 minutes a day of reading an average size novel equals 18 books a year at
an average reading speed!
- Determine your purpose before reading. If you only need main ideas, then allow yourself
to skim the material. Don't feel you must read very word.
- There are several books on increasing reading speed available in most bookstores. If you
are serious about increasing your rate you may want to work systematically through one of
these books.
- Have your eyes checked. Before embarking on a speed
reading software, make sure that any correctable eye defects you may have are taken care of
by checking with your eye doctor. Often, very slow reading is related to uncorrected eye
defects.
- Divide a sentences into shorter fragments while you read.
Articles about the eyes and speed reading
Understanding the role of speed in the reading process is essential. Research has shown
a close relation between speed and understanding.
Speed reading tip. Use all the Essential Reading Skills. This means
that you must first preview skim your material for the main ideas and overall structure.
Since previewing helps with basic comprehension, scanning, and study reading, it
is an absolute necessity in rapid reading. You will never increase your speed if
you do not begin with a "map of the territory." Besides previewing, remember the
other essential skills. You will need to pay attention to important transitions
and other signals, and notice organizational patterns--all keys to the "writer's
path." Even when we read rapidly, our goal is to grasp the writer's message as accurately
as possible.
Speed reading techniques
Remember these two things and enhance your reading speed:
- Make sure your text is fairly easy for you. You should know something about
the subject matter and have no major problems with the vocabulary, style, or
ideas. Don't expect to read Scientific American or Spinoza's philosophy rapidly
and with full comprehension the first time through, unless you are a scientist
or philosopher.
- Make sure your purpose for reading. Do you need to memorize the contents
of the material? Discuss it in detail? Savor the style? Are you aiming at 100
percent understanding of new, difficult principles, as when you study-read a
textbook? If so, don't expect a fast, once-through reading to be sufficient.
Your purpose should not be study or analysis (although a single rapid reading
prior to study or analysis is often very useful). Your purpose when you decide
to rapid read should be general information and enjoyment.
