Had several friends get deep into speed reading in college, back when Tim Ferris and other self-help gurus in their early days were pushing it as a life hack.

They all abandoned it later when they finally accepted that the learning bottleneck wasn’t their ability to move their eyes across the page as fast as possible.

If you have too much material, pick the specific chapters and subjects you want to read most and start there. Don’t compromise everything just to see it all.
