Valid feedback, although there’s an entire gamut of Internet Marketers ranging from the thin to the morbidly obese (their words, not mine!).

It’s a lifestyle choice and whether you’re working for yourself or someone else, taking time out to exercise and relax has nothing to do with the computer.

Have you ever thought that with the computer taking up so much of our time nowadays, many people who are now their early twenties or early thirties may suffer from stroke later on in life due to the sedentary computing lifestyle that they lead now?

I mean, honestly, Andrew, have you ever thought about the health trade-offs? I happened to come across that photo you took with Ewen Chia, and you do not look very fit at all, to be very honest.

I mean, just take a look at some of the ‘famous’ Internet money makers in Singapore and you notice that they pay a certain price in terms of health trade-offs. Look at Johan Mok, he does not look like he exercises. Ewen Chia is not much better, he seems to be quite haggard-looking and skinny.

I’m sure as someone who is treading the same career path as them, you should be quite aware of this trade-off?

You can set the speed you want the words to be displayed. I am using the trial version to help me read blog articles faster.

For longer documents, I prefer to print them out and use the marker, as you said.

When I was doing the speed reading thing, I used a ruler or a folded piece of paper to guide my eyes.

If you feel that investing in software will help you learn faster, by all means…

IMO, there’re only so many words which fit onscreen, so you should be able to read it quickly, wouldn’t you?

For stuff I mark up, I’d usually print it out.

I am also trying a software called Rapid Reader, to help me read faster on screen.

Have you ever tried it?

Good to hear you’re being proactive in digesting info.

For the bang for your buck, the speed reading course will give you biggest leverage.

very interesting topic!

To fight information overload, I consume a lot of audio content. Audio content allows you to multi-task (ex. I can drive while listening to my mp3 player)

I am also planning to take a speed reading course in October, and I hope that will help me consume text content much faster! 🙂
