How do a lot of you guys read so many things so quickly and retain all the knowledge? This seems like perhaps THE MOST VALUABLE skill I could learn, and I can't find ANY good resources on it!
Use your imaginary friend whom you try to explain the gist of what you've just read when, say, brushing your teeth. :)
(Actually writing down an explanation would certainly be more effective but not as fast).
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, even in Discussion, it goes here.
