盛天地美食推荐:七个让你更快地掌握影像阅读法的技巧

原文：Seven Tips for Learning PhotoReading and making it part of your life quickly
1. Read the book as suggested on the first page.

It doesn't look important but it is. When you follow the instructions you have the opportunity to discover the time saved by layering and not reading every single word an author has written. You don't need to read every single word to understand the message in the information if you know what you are looking for. This little exercise with the PhotoReading book gives you an opportunity to see just that.

2. When learning with the Self-Study course, use the manual and work as you go with the course the first time you listen.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with the home study course is to listen to it while driving or involved with other tasks. The course is designed for self-teaching. The experience and the surprise at what you got when you did the exercise is important. You must remember if Paul covered every single possible experience you might have the recording would be 5 times longer. Whatever you get is fine however listening to the recording first creates limits. Instead of noticing what you got you're busy looking for the "right" results. The right result is what you noticed you got and you don't get it "right" the first time.

3. After learning or reading the book （if that's how you're learning） do the 5-day test/experiment from page 76 of the PhotoReading book.

This is one of the easiest ways to integrate and own the system yourself. Repeat it on 3 to 5 books and you find the layering and multiple passes become less with experience. As a beginner you can get through a book in 1/3rd the time. So when you pick up a book for the 5-day test consider how long it would take for you to read it in the traditional way. In a survey I conducted the PhotoReading book ranged between 6 and 12 hours. No-one from the University of Western Sydney Blacktown Campus estimated a time less than 6 hours. So estimate how long it would take you to read traditionally before you start. Then at the end of 5-days you might decide you need more time at it however compare how much time you've spent with the book at that point and how much you would normally need.

4. As a beginner apply all the steps （check the mind map on page 68, and summary page 146 - 148）

It doesn't take long to do them. It's like learning to drive. When you first learn you have to think your way through the steps. Seat, seatbelt, mirrors, ignition, clutch, break, gear... After a few times some of the steps become habit and easy to do. Others like "indicator" take a few more reminders. By following a check list through all the steps it becomes a habit that will get you the best results. If it's not working check if you are missing any of the steps. Consciously include it to see what difference it makes.

5. Spend no more than 3 minutes entering the Accelerated Learning State.

Too often beginners spend too much time entering the Accelerated Learning State. The basic is 3, physical relaxation, 2 Mental relaxation 1, Accelerated Learning State. Enjoy it for a moment then state your purpose and affirm your intent and start flipping those pages. The state will change. The Accelerated Learning State is to prepare you for the activation step. The PhotoReading step comes naturally by soft focus and / or seeing the blip page.

6. Learn the system well before you need to apply it on material for exams or test.

Your need to do well on a test or exam is going to interfere with your ability to learn PhotoReading. If you have a test coming up now is not the time to learn PhotoReading. Do adopt some of the PhotoReading systems steps like, incubate, take regular breaks （not studying in long continuous hours） and mind mapping. Mind maps are great for quick reviews much faster than reviewing linear notes.［

7. Use a timer

This one is handy for anyone wanting to get better at PhotoReading. It's all too easy to fall in to the habit of passive reading. Like we have all the time in the world. We learned to read that way yet we don't have all the time in the world. Exams have a set length of time, you don't have all the time in the world to read the questions, meetings and reports have deadlines. How can we let reading take as long as it takes when we have these deadlines? You need to get your reading done in the time you have available. The best way to make sure you know how much time you have available is set a timer.

A bonus Tip

Know your purpose.

七个让你掌握影像阅读法的技巧 

怎样才能让影像阅读成为你生活的一部分呢？

1、读《10倍速影像阅读法》的时候，按照第一页的建议（爱因斯坦）来读

这看起来好像不重要，但事实上却是很重要的。当你按照书上的建议读法进行阅读时，你就会发现通过短而多次的阅读，你节省了大量时间，并且不是没效率地一个一个字地去读作者写的字。如果你知道你想要的信息是什么，你根本没有必要去读作者所写的一个字。《10倍速影像阅读法》书中第一页的读法就给你一个尝试影像阅读思维形态的机会。

2、当使用自学课程录音带时，记得使用手册（中国只有书，这条没必要翻译了）

3、在读完《10倍速影像阅读法》之后，做书上的5天测试练习（118页）

这是让你掌握影像阅读法最快速的方法之一。重复这个步骤，用在3～5本书上，你会发现和体验到短而多次的阅读使你获得逐渐加强的理解力。作为一个初学者来说，你可以很容易地只花费1/3时间阅读一本书。所以，当你拿起一本书做“5天测试”的时候，先想一想，如果用以前的方法读，我需要花多少时间呢？就《10倍速影像阅读法》这本书来说，根据我们的调查，一般人大概花6至12小时来阅读。在做完“5天测试”的所有内容后，你可能会想再花些时间来读，这没关系。在获得所有你想要的内容之后，再比较一下和原来的阅读法相比，你所花费的时间，得到的东西，有更多吗？

4、作为一个初学者，你必须老老实实地应用所有的步骤，别偷懒！

做所有的步骤，这不会花你多少时间。这就像学开车一样，当你第一次开车的时候，你必须时时想着要怎么开，下一步要做什么，要按什么键，要看后视镜，要刹车……在一段时间的训练和使用后，一些开车的步骤就变成了你的习惯，让你很容易地就完成了。检视一下《10倍速影像阅读法》最后面的阅读步骤总纲，按照上面说的每一步去做，你就会得到最好的结果。如果没有结果，就看看你是不是漏做了哪些步骤。请有意识地去觉察使用后有何不同。

5、当你进入“加速学习状态”时，不要花费超过3分钟的时间

太多的初学者花太多的时间在进入“加速学习状态”。进入“加速学习状态”的步骤是很简单的，“3，肌肉放松2,精神上放松，感觉心情很平静1、进入了加速学习状态”感受一下这种状态的感觉（多去感觉，这样可以让你越来越快地进入状态），然后默念你的目标和肯定语句，开始用影像阅读法翻书。在读的过程中，状态是会改变或消失的，没有关系。因为“加速学习状态”其实是为你做活化那一步骤做准备的。在“影像阅读”这一步骤时，你使用软眼，看到悬页后，你的眼睛会很放松，这使你的整个精神自然地放松了，这和肌肉上的放松是一样的。

6、如果你还没有掌握好影像阅读，请不要把它用在考试的材料上

“为了考试，我一定要掌握这部分的内容”，这会带给你压力，干扰你学习影像阅读法。如果你自认为还没有掌握好影像阅读法，那要如何应对考试呢？可以应用影像阅读法的一些技巧，像“等待成熟”，在读书的中间做一些简短的休息（千万不要连续学习几个小时），还有像思维导图。思维导图是复习的最佳工具，复习的速度会比普通的笔记快了不知多少倍。

7、使用一个计时器

对于想要自我超越，不断提升自己影像阅读能力的人来说，这是很方便的一个工具。一般人在初学影像阅读的时候，很容易就掉入了消极阅读的陷阱。一般的阅读者大部分的时间都在消极阅读，他们没有时间的概念，好像他的时间一点也不值钱似的。但事实上，每个人的时间都是有限的，我们的时间也很值钱。在考试的时候，我们也有时间的限制，你没有时间去慢慢地读题目，在会议的时候，我们有时间限制，在写报告的时候，我们也有截止时间的限制。那么在阅读的时候，我们也可以为自己设立一个“截止时间”，这让我们真正是主动、积极地去阅读。所以最好能使用一个定时器，来加速你的学习效率。

最后还有一个最重要的法则

那就是在阅读的时候，永远知道你的目的，记着你的目标，不要去做那些和目标没有关系的事情。（全文完）
