Is it unwise to listen to lectures and other onlin

Is it unwise to listen to lectures and other online content at faster speeds? You might expect me, as the OG of the Slow Movement, to answer with a resounding Yes. But this new research is a reminder that life is seldom that simple.

It suggests we can listen to content at double speed without really harming comprehension or retention. Listening faster than, however, that causes both to suffer.

This is not really surprising given that people generally speak at a rate of about 150 words per minute. And that earlier research shows that comprehension tends to start falling off around 275 words per minute.

My guess is that there is no universal ideal listening speed. Not only is everyone different but our capacity to pay attention will vary from moment to moment depending on everything from our mood to how much sleep we got last night.

What's more, some content is just easier to take in quickly than other content. The researchers in this study concluded that "speeding up videos may not be effective with especially complex or difficult ... material."

What is your experience of listening to content at different speeds?

Los avances tecnológicos y la rapidez con la que

Los avances tecnológicos y la rapidez con la que todo avanza en el mundo moderno parece una invitación constante a vivir en ansiedad.

• Enviar un email y esperar una respuesta rápida.
• Escribir un mensaje y si “te clavan el visto” no entender porque no hay contestación de inmediato.
• Solicitar algo siempre para ayer.
• Devorar la comida porque tienes cosas por hacer.
• Leer el cuento más corto para tus hijos o jugar rápido a algo para que se vayan a dormir.
• Hacer todo x2 para que "te alcance el tiempo para hacer más".

El resultado de ejemplos como éstos es llegar al final del día exhaustos, desconectados de nuestra verdadera energía vital y con mayor ansiedad porque sentimos que 24 horas no alcanzan.

Quizás aprender a poner límites, diferenciar lo urgente, lo importante y lo que nos brinda valor en nuestras rutinas diarias sea un buen ejercicio para potenciar nuestros hábitos y entender que la inmediatez es maravillosa en algunos momentos, pero no tiene que ser nuestro ritmo constante todo el tiempo.

Posted by @simba.health "The first is that most ageist stereotypes are actually flat out wrong.

Spoiler alert! Younger is not always better.

It’s not all downhill from 40.

Look at Christine Lagarde, running global financial institutions in her 60s.

Or David Attenborough banging out amazing documentaries in his 90s.

At the same time, the world is changing in ways that will help us both age better and feel better about ageing.

Let’s look at some of those stereotypes. I want to tear a few down for you 👈."
