Occasionally I read 1000 articles per week. This takes me about 90 minutes per day or one entire weekend. I honestly thought it to be normal and was surprised that some people find it astonishing. You do not even need to read very fast to use this skill. What is an average article? A good …
When is the right time for speedwriting
Speedwriting is good as long as you have a Eurika moment, or have enough materials to generate new insights while writing. If you have too many thoughts then speedwriting can clean up your head. But if you are puzzled or bored it might backfire… What is speedwriting? It is just another critical part of superlearning …
Coaching with Anna: testimonies
We last published student testimonies three years ago. You can read them here https://www.keytostudy.com/student-testimonies/. To be honest, our new students are as satisfied as ever. I will share some of the responses. DK (initials), VP of Data Engineering, June 2022 The classes were great and it was straightforward to implement Mrs. Goldentouch’s advice and methods! My …
Sections and subjects of speedreading and senses masterclasses
My reading speed and technique improved dramatically from the time I started speedreading. I would go as far as say that speedreading is a form of biohacking: it is the ability to hack into our senses and generate far more than the senses allow. Therefore in the future, I will bundle speedreading with hacking the …

Long term memory: revisiting vs speedwriting
Suppose you want to remember something for a very long time. How do you ensure memorization? There are many methods, which can be roughly divided into three categories: reviewing the notes (revisiting), actively using (speedwriting) and lifestyle choices (sleep, food, …). Here I compare revisiting with speedwriting, and provide some actionable tips. The lifestyle element …

To be honest I have not been doing visualization at all since I started to read above 5000 wpm. When I slow down and want to remember everything, I still use memory structures – more often than not I do not have to. Here is a short confession of what it feels like to be …

Research and creativity: bursting the filtering bubble and creating logical markers
The subjects of research and creativity are huge. I will describe some of the relevant steps below. However, there are two questions I always get from my friends and students: how to know whom to believe and how to express complex ideas as mathematical formulas. There is also a complementary question of defining the subject …
Speedwriting: the best of long-term memorization and creative writing (no more spaced repetitions!)
The basic idea of speedwriting is very simple. If we research a subject, read about it, create notes, and memorize everything we need, writing about the subject should be really easy. And if we write about something creatively, remembering it for years after writing also becomes easy. I call this virtuous circle speedwriting. TLDR We …
Speedreading x100: from vocalization to sub-visualization
What if I told you that you can improve your reading speed not by x2 or x3 but x100 without losing comprehension? This is speedreading on steroids! Going from vocalization (100 wpm) to sub-visualization (10 000 wpm) is just that. You might think I am crazy. Yet this is exactly what happened to me. Everybody …

Back to school deal
Literally do not miss our back-to-school deal. TLDR: 60% discount, or more when bundles with 1:1 sessions. For me, September 1st is “Back to school” day. Schools tend to be very expensive and optimizing the school experience is a good idea. Relatively little time and money strategically investing can provide a great return on investment. …
