I appreciate all of your comments on the paper planner. I do my best thinking when I am writing (as opposed to "texting.") It's just that you then have to carry the binder around. Or not. But...

I've always been fasinated by the concept of speed reading. I bought the Evelyn Woods self study tapes. I wanted to sign up for a class but I couldn't get any references on people who took the...
