Here's an ADHD hack for reading faster. This will be hands-on. And yes, this works for everyone. But last time we covered how the two behaviors that limit your reading speed are when you keep jumping back and rereading the same thing, and when you're not devoting full attention to the reading process. Squirrel! Both of which are particularly limiting in ADHD. And yes, you could slowly train yourself, but... Squirrel! So let's use an app to take a shortcut. There are two key features. And I've been looking for years, but I've only found one app that really nails them both. by using text highlighting and auto scrolling. It's like your finger, but better. That's what you... Hey, let's try it. This is with it said at 300 words per minute. Already above the human average. Now at 500. We're not done. Second is to create a multi-sensory experience, adding sound to capture the full attention. This takes some getting used to, but I've used it to read at literally 900 words per minute. Ready? Let's start at 500. Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister. She's just a little. She says, like how they're getting divorced, she calls their father immediately. You're not getting divorced. Don't do another thing. The two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer. Don't file a paper. Do you hear me? She hands up the phone. Could you follow? The app is called Speechify, and I've used it to listen to more than 32 million words. This is not sponsored. I still pay for it. It's a bit pricey and occasionally buggy. But I did reach out to them and convince them to give you guys the biggest discount code they have ever offered anyone. 32% off. Use code Distilled Science 32 or click my link. The old man turns to his wife and says, okay, they're both coming for Christmas and paying your own their affairs.

Replying to @reginald jennings CHALLENGE: Who was able yo read the higher speed without the audio? With it? No joke, this has been one of the four pinned apps on my homescreen for years! (As well as a frequently used browser extension) #reading #adhd #booktok #productivity #science #booklovers
