On another note with books-I have decided to practice speed reading. I am following a book/program created by Evelyn Wood to sharpen my focus! The speed reading book "Remember Everything You Read"
by Stanley D. Frank tells about how President John F. Kennedy took up speed reading and encouraged his staff in the White House to do so too to keep up with expediting time and handling multiple concepts. I am very drawn to this idea of gathering information quicker and to not Regress over single words. I tend to get connected to one word and I sort of slide my focus off the page wit all the content and sHtuff on it.... It's all fun and games till someone just forgets what they are doing; likewise capitalizing *Regress.* I cant get that one out of my head. I think I'll be okay for I will become a speed reader in no time flat!
