What are the benefits of being able to read faster?
Firstly, TIME – the average person spends 2 hours a day on work-related reading. If you can simply DOUBLE your reading speed, you can save 260 – 360 hours a year. Secondly, MONEY – if your total cost to your company (salary, office space, office equipment, perks & benefits) is $100k per year, and you work a 40-hour week, your cost to the company is $48 per hour. If you save 260 hours a year in reading time, this saves your company $12500 a year – and this is if you simply double your speed. If you increase your reading speed by a factor of 3, 4, 5 or even 6 to 10, the time and money savings become huge.
