Doctor Who: 10 Ways To Be More Like The Doctor

10. Learn To Speed Read

This is a cool ability the Doctor has, as shown in the episodes City of Death and Rose, where he zips through entire paperbacks in mere seconds.

Now, while it’s unlikely that any of us can learn to read that fast, you can increase your own average reading speed. There are lots of videos and books about speed reading available that can teach you how to read faster, so it should be pretty simple to give it a try. The main benefit of this skill is that you can read more in less time, which might be useful if you decide to explore some of the other topics on this list – or just want to read more Doctor Who books!

This can also be an advantage in the workplace, as it means you read documents at a faster pace, or quickly acquire more knowledge on a subject. It is suggested that speed reading can also help with comprehension and concentration. It certainly could be a useful tool, though obviously depending on what you’re reading, you might want to take it slower and savour the book.
