The brain and the memory work awesomely fast; they also work best for comparatively short periods of time. The more you can do during that time, the more likely you are to retain it. Time and again, our experience shows that it is not necessarily the people who take the longest over a task who do it best, but those who approach it with energy, enjoyment and a brisk clarity of purpose.

Brain Train: Studying for Success, by Richard Palmer. I'm reading it free on Questia. He's defending speed reading. Hopefully he'll tell me how to do it pretty soon. I don't have all day.
