This is not because your attention has decreased. This is a problem that adapts to our attention and the desire to consume all this information. (This is an interesting question, why do we actually have to consume all of it?)
There are advertisements, advertisements, tweets, news items, status updates, articles, books, mailing lists, and everything in between.
There are too many things, so you need to prioritize them. But in order to give priority, you must understand its value: Do you have something new on me? Is it fun? is it true? Will it support my view? Does it challenge my view? Is it reliable? Does this sound rational? Is there a hidden agenda? Is that propaganda? Whose opinion is supported? wait
Skimming usually provides sufficient information about this value. However, if you purposely do this, people can not only evaluate the value, but you can also quickly gain important points. (Called "speed reading")
I (and still) have the same "problem", but I do not think this is a problem. Skimming is good, but you should be able to close it
That is what I did. In order to avoid wasting time, browse, filter quickly and get out early. If there is not much available time then please do a fast read, second or third skimming.
If you have enough time and information to seem valuable, sit down and start reading as if there is nothing else you can do. It's raining outside as you are trapped in a cabin without a phone / tablet - you can do only reading. (I do not know if you can relate to this idea, you can find your own memories like ideas)
Well, in actual books, I will try to reevaluate them from chapter to chapter instead of reading them from beginning to end. As it is usually used for entertainment, the novel book differs (sometimes interesting idea sometimes)
Then you can start reading from the beginning to the end. Please read as usual, but do not be afraid to go. You are mainly looking for information to support the main views so far and information to answer your question. You will find that reading is smoother than the other methods. Your brain is ready for this substance and you started pumping. So, this is the rule of my highlighter pen: If you emphasize something (except summary / paper sentence) you have to explain why you want to emphasize it. As we are born lazy, we will automatically emphasize less automatically. Highlighting makes sense. And because you write something by hand, you give a better opportunity to remember this information in your brain. Multifaceted victory
When you read news articles to check if you have something you care about, you skimming: You basically check the structure and look for any excellent keywords or sentences. Since we all consume a lot of media, you may already be good at browsing, so use this. It is worthwhile if you are reading a wide range of new topics, skill acquisition, it can skip between normal reading and skimming. Why do you study each word as you can read important parts and browse to find the rest?
Many people think that rouge is a random process of placing your eyes in places you fall. However, to move effectively, you need a structure, but do not read everything. What you read is more important than what you missed. So, what materials did you read, and what materials did you miss? Once you know how to pronounce, you can begin to read only the first sentence of each paragraph. They are also referred to as topic statements and indicate the main concept of a paragraph. If you do not get the main idea in the topic sentence, or if the paragraph is very interesting to you, you might want to see more.
When you browse the page, you can get the main idea from the reading without having to read all the words. You will find and grasp the words that seems to have a big meaning. Readers are browsing not on the details of articles and books, but for short periods of time or when you need to understand general ideas. Skimming is 3 to 4 times normal reading speed. Therefore, your reading comprehension will be a big surprise when you go. Studies have shown that people reading and understanding text on computer screens are slower than reading and understanding printed matter. The reader can also not navigate efficiently on the computer screen. When reading or browsing the web on your computer, if you want to read and browse effectively and effectively, please make it later than usual.
