Anyway, since I discovered this hack I’d gotten very comfortable listening at 1.5X, which sounds like the speakers are incredibly eloquent even after 6 cups of coffee. But then a couple of weeks ago I started experimenting with 2X speed, and when I found out that my new friend, Matthew, does that exclusively, I had to make the switch. Otherwise he wins.
Okay, yes, it will sound like people on amphetamines speaking very demonstratively at first. But your brain will quickly adapt, I promise. Consider how many more books you could read if you 2Xed your reading speed. Now you don’t have to.
I recently did a 5 day water fast for four reasons:
1. For the reputed therapeutic effects. 2. To gain some clarity. 3. To counteract a week of Thanksgiving gluttony. 4. To test my discipline.
