That’s effing hilarious. Not sure if I’d go that far for an info product since I do enjoy the joys of reading in an of itself.

However, there are some BOOORING mofos out there, so at some point this might be a good idea.

This will not only make it twice as fast (the pitch stays the same though), but your mind is also really forced to pay more attention. Learned this from Rich Schefren, and it has come in handy over the last few years.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-205261">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Another method is to listen to audios on 150-250% speed, depending on the base speed of the speaker (Quicktime allows you to do this, as will some other custom software programs).

But I would also recommend taking breaks. If the recording is 60 mins, take a 10 minute break or watch and learn (3) 20 minute segments.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-203963">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I find I get locked into the online chess or wordwrap and would have to re-listen if I felt missed something.

I love physical products, if it's an ebook, I print it out. If it's audio, I throw it on the mp3 player and listen in the car. If it's a dvd, I'll watch it over lunch...seriously, I find it hard to sit there and watch multiple dvds, I end up falling asleep. What I realize is that if you do something else, especially when the content is audio, you can absorb it without even paying much attention...it's happening in the background of your mind. I spend all day in front of the pc, I don't want to do it anymore than I need to...so I print, burn, and transfer whatever I need so I can truly consume it. I've made it through about 4 audio books over the last month, no way I would have read that many books in one month lol....but listening during my commute made it happen. good stuff man.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-203959">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> It’s true man, that’s how I’ve been consuming info lately.

Life is too short not to multi-task. Too many fun things to do...and not enough time! For me, it's Street Fighter 4 with the sound turned off...but only with Sagat or Ryu. With Guile I have to think to much (charging in the air to prepare for the sonic boom). Of course I don't go online where a 13 year old will "school" me. Great Post!
