Speed Read the “Focus” eBook
By: Leo Babauta (121-Page eBook)

This week’s challenge is to read a 121-page eBook on the topic of Focus… No big deal.

We measured your reading speed a couple times so far and you should have a rough idea of your benchmark. Feel free to substitute the Focus eBook with your own reading material if you already have some productive reading planned.

Each Chapter can be read using the AccelaReader tool at 300 Words Per Minute (WPM), 400 WPM, 500 WPM or 1,000 WPM (see below).
