| How to Read Textbooks Faster Posted: 04 May 2017 09:00 AM PDT One way to make the most of your time when you are a student is by learning how to read textbooks faster. You may be able to read your textbook faster by being a selective and active reader. Instead of reading chapters word for word, use the questions at the end of each chapter or section to clue you into the important material. Additionally, as you read, use your finger as a guide and minimize sub-vocalization to increase your reading rate. EditReading Selectively - Examine the questions at the end of each section or chapter. Use these questions as a guide to help you focus on the important and relevant material. As you are skimming the chapter, ask yourself if the material you are reading is answering these questions. If it is not, then skip it.[1]
- Read the chapter intro and final summary. Look for key words like "effects," "results," "causes," "versus," and "pros and cons," for example. These key words will clue you into the chapter's thesis or main idea. Knowing the main ideas beforehand will help you identify sections of the chapter that need careful reading.[2]
- Highlight and refer back to the main idea or thesis so you can stay on topic.
- Look carefully at section headings and subheadings. Rephrase section headings and subheadings into questions to help you focus on the important ideas being presented. If the section heading says, "Kramer's Three Social Laws," then rephrase it into a question by saying, "What are Kramer's three social laws?" Then read the information that answers this question.[3]
- Remember that bolded or italicized headings and subheadings contain clues to the most important information.
- Read the first and last sentence of paragraphs. If you understand these two sentences, then just skim or skip the paragraph. If you do not understand the first and last sentences, then read the entire paragraph.[4]
- Make sure to slow down when you encounter complex paragraphs and sentences. This way, you will be able to fully understand what the author is trying to articulate in the paragraph.
- Pay attention to important concepts and details only. Skim the book for important concepts, people, places, and events. These are usually bolded or italicized. If you understand a concept, then you can skip the contextual information that explains it.[5]
- Read the supporting text and contextual information only if you do not fully understand a concept.
- Break up the chapter with your classmates. Ask some of your classmates if they are willing to do this. If they are, assign sections of the chapter amongst one to three other classmates. Each classmate should be responsible for their section. Make sure that you all can come to an agreement about each person's responsibilities.[6]
- For example, devise a plan where each student in the group reads and writes a detailed outline for their respective section. Then, have everyone complete their outline by a certain date like the end of the week.
EditReading Actively - Define a goal. You can do this by asking yourself pre-reading questions such as, "What is the author's main idea?" "What does my teacher want me to focus on in this chapter?" "What have I already learned or not learned about this topic?"[7]
- These questions will help you focus on important and relevant content that will enhance your leaning while excluding information that is irrelevant or that you already understand.
- Take notes in the margins. In addition to highlighting, write questions and comments in the margins of your textbook or on a sheet of paper if the book does not belong to you. This will help you engage with the material and retain the information better, and thus prevent you from having to read the section over again.[8]
- Make diagrams, flow charts, and outlines of the material when you can.
- Make sure to focus on and define terms that you are unfamiliar with.
- Summarize what you read in your own words. Write down the main points on a sheet of paper. Use examples to clarify the main points. If you are not able to summarize key information, then you may need to go over relevant sections once more.[9]
- Limit your summary to one page.
- Create a study environment that is free of distractions. Pick a quiet space in your house, for example your room, or the library to read. Put away other sources of distraction like your phone, computer, and the Internet. Instead, read the chapter and write your notes by hand, and silence your phone or turn it off.[10]
- Additionally, make sure the the space you choose is well-lit and comfortable, but not too comfortable.
- If you choose to study at home, let your family (or roommates) know that you will be studying quietly in your room and that you would appreciate it if they kept the noise level down.
EditIncreasing Your Reading Rate - Give yourself a time-frame. Tell yourself, "I will read this chapter for one and a half hours." Giving yourself a time-frame will help you stay on track as you read. If you begin to notice that you are reading a section for too long, get the main points and move on.[11]
- Mark the section and come back to it if it is a particularly difficult section.
- Use a pointer to focus on the material. As you read, place your finger (or an index card or pen) below the first word of the sentence and move it as you read. Your finger will help your eyes focus on the words you are reading, instead of other pictures and information.[12]
- Additionally, using a pointer can you help control how fast or slow you read something; for example, the faster you move your finger the faster you will read and vice versa.
- Try not to sub-vocalize. Sub-vocalization is reading aloud in your head and/or moving your lips as you read. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but it can slow down your reading rate. Reduce your sub-vocalization by chewing gum or listening to music while you read. By forcing yourself to read faster you may also be able to reduce sub-vocalization.[13]
- Additionally, there are apps and programs that can help you reduce your sub-vocalization.
- Control the speed of your reading. Reading faster isn't just about reading fast, but about controlling your speed. In other words, slow your reading when you encounter concepts that you are unfamiliar with or do not understand. Then, increase your speed once you have gauged the meaning.[14]

| How to Cope if Your Partner Gets a Tattoo and You Hate Tattoos Posted: 04 May 2017 01:00 AM PDT Maybe you are shocked and appalled because your partner just came home with a surprise tattoo. Or maybe you told your partner in advance that you don't like tattoos but they got one anyway. Regardless of the exact circumstances, you hate tattoos and your partner now has one. The best way to cope with your partner's tattoo is to communicate your feelings to your partner, discover why your partner got a tattoo, and come to terms with the tattoo. Also, remember that you are with your partner because of the emotional connection you have with them, and not because of what they look like. Changing their appearance slightly with a tattoo should not change your emotional connection with your significant other. EditDiscovering Why Your Partner Got a Tattoo - Ask your partner the significance of the tattoo. Many people get tattoos that have some form of significance or symbolic meaning. Ask your partner what their tattoo represents. This may help you understand the tattoo better and come to terms with it.[1]
- For example, a tattoo of a name, initials, or a date may symbolize the death of a family member or close friend.
- Alternatively, the tattoo could symbolize a hobby or passion. For example, of a tree may symbolize a passion for the outdoors.
- Some tattoos are also meant as a form of motivation. For instance, they provide something to look at on a bad day to give inspiration.
- Find out what motivated them to get a tattoo. Certain events, such as a major birthday, a new job, the completion of a degree, or the birth of a child, could motivate an individual to get a tattoo. In these cases the tattoo is meant to commemorate or celebrate a certain occasion. You may be more inclined to accept the tattoo despite the fact that you don't like it, if you realize that a major event motivated your partner to get the tattoo.
- Listen to your partner. When your partner is explaining the origins of their tattoo, it is important that you actively listen to them. This will demonstrate that you care about what they are saying and are interested in learning about their tattoo. This will also help you and your partner have a constructive conversation about the tattoo, rather than just getting into an argument.[2]
- Lean in to the conversation, make eye contact, and nod occasionally to demonstrate that you are listening.
- Ask follow up questions to show that you are engaged in the conversation.
- Accept that they may not have a "good" reason. Your partner may not have a "good" reason (in your opinion) for getting a tattoo, but they may feel as though their reason for getting the tattoo was a good one. Even after they have explained the tattoo, you may continue to disagree with the decision. Try and accept the fact that maybe your partner just wanted a tattoo and likes the concept of body art. It is important to respect your partner's decisions about how they want their body to look.
- Remember that a tattoo may change your partner's appearance slightly, but it will not change the bond that you share with your partner.
EditCommunicating Your Feelings - Explain your apprehension before they get a tattoo. If your partner has been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while, you should explain why you don't like tattoos before they actually get one. For instance, maybe tattoos are a trigger for you and bring back unpleasant memories and experiences. Or maybe you find tattoos unprofessional and unattractive. Once you explain why you don't like tattoos, your partner may decide not to get one.[3]
- Remember that your partner has the right to control the appearance of their own body. Avoid using your apprehension about tattoos as a way to manipulate your partner into not getting a tattoo. You can share your apprehension, but try to be respectful of your partner's wishes.
- Share your feelings after the fact. If your partner comes home with a surprise tattoo without any warning, you should still vocalize your feelings. However, be sure to be respectful and keep in mind that your partner has the right to do what they want to do with their body. For example, you could say "I wish you would have told me you wanted to get a tattoo; that way we could have talked about it in advance and come to a compromise." This will allow you to get your feelings off your chest and you and your partner can come to an understanding.[4]
- If your partner got a surprise tattoo of your name or image, it was likely intended as a nice gesture. You should not be overly critical because they are trying to demonstrate their commitment and feelings towards your relationship.
- Use a calm and gentle tone. When you are talking with your partner about their new tattoo, do not shout or use an aggressive tone. Instead, you should approach the conversation in a calm and gentle manner. This way you are not attacking your partner, but instead trying to come to an understanding. Take a deep breath before speaking.[5]
- You could also try taking some time to cool down before approaching your partner about their new tattoo.
- Ask your partner to include you next time. Perhaps you are upset because your partner did not tell you about the tattoo in advance. As a result, you feel as though your partner does not value your opinion. Explain to your partner that you feel overlooked and disrespected. If your partner understands that your negative response is coming from a place of hurt, they may be able to understand your position better and will include you the next time they decide to make a major change to their appearance.[6]
EditComing to Terms With Your Partner's Tattoo - Realize this is not your decision. Once you and your partner have talked openly and honestly about the tattoo, you need to respect that this is not your body and therefore not your decision. You may not like the tattoo, but if you want to remain in a relationship with your partner, then it is a good idea to accept the fact that you have no control over what your partner puts on their body.[7]
- You can always offer your opinion, but the ultimate decision is up to your partner about whether or not to get a tattoo.
- Determine if the tattoo is a deal breaker for you. You may decide that you dislike tattoos so much that you can no longer be in a relationship with your partner. In some instances, the best way for you to cope is to leave the relationship. For example, if your partner got a tattoo that you found offensive, you may decide that you cannot be in a relationship with that person anymore. Try asking yourself some questions to determine your feelings for this person:
- "What was it that initially attracted me to my partner? Is that attraction still there, or has it changed now because of the tattoo? Why?"
- "What is the true root cause of my concerns with the tattoo?"
- "What emotions am I feeling that are associated with the tattoo? Why am I feeling these emotions? Are the emotions actually attached to the tattoo, or the fact that my partner made the decision without talking to me?"
- "Is the root cause of my emotions/concerns something that I can control or manage through healthy coping skills? Is it something that may need to be address with a counseling professional? Or is this something I am able to resolve on my own?"
- Look for something positive about the tattoo. You may be able to cope best with the tattoo if you are able to find something you like about it. For instance, maybe it is small and not that noticeable so you can learn to live with it. Or maybe the tattoo is in a non-visible location and is predominantly hidden by clothes. Try and find something positive about the tattoo to help you cope.
- As time goes on you will likely get used to the tattoo.
- Always talk with your partner before they get a tattoo. This way you can have an open and honest conversation prior to the tattoo.
- If you really don't like the tattoo, you could ask your partner to get it removed.
