The 90-Minute Plan

Eliminate subvocalization0–15 min

Inner voice slows reading. Consciously suppress it. Use pointer (finger, card) to guide eyes.

Expand eye span15–35 min

Train eyes to capture 5-7 words per fixation instead of 1-2. Wider peripheral vision increases speed.

Practice chunking text35–55 min

Read meaningful chunks, not word-by-word. Eyes skip articles and small words. Brain fills gaps.

Skim before reading deeply55–75 min

Preview: title, headings, first/last sentence per paragraph. Activate prior knowledge first.

Track and adjust pace75–90 min

Time yourself. Calculate WPM (words per minute). Gradually increase. Aim for 600-800 WPM.

Pro Tip

Speed reading works for information, not philosophy; adjust technique by material type.
