speed reading?

About the zoning out thing, it happens to me when I’m reading something that I would rather not be, say my accounting book, but I can say I never remembered anything while I was zoned out.

Actually, most speed reading techniques should really only be applied to non-ficton or “story” books (like history or something). There’s a key difference in reading text to see see a picture, and reading text to understand a concept. I never “speed read” on those kind of books either.

Also, it’s not really zoning out when I made reference to reading, that was more of a point that you’re doing something without a second thought. My reference to me doing so was an indication of prime reading- I didn’t zone out, I understood what was going on, hence it playing like a movie in my head instead of staring at words on paper.
