I listen to some podcast at 1.5x 2x the speed because I think some speak extremely slow. Also, helps consuming interesting content in less time.
When I skim over documents, information, I usually add to existing knowledge and it is easier to mentally TAG the what it is I need to learn. When I need to use this knowledge at least I know where to look, search or whom to ask if I need to dig into the material, and when I do - it is a slow process.
When I want to learn something, I need to sit down and slow everything down. It is very important to me that I take detailed notes and discuss the content.
I've been told that our memory has two modes; short term and long term. If you want to remember something you need to work getting it from short term memory and into the long time memory - and in order to do that you must iterate many times of the content you are trying to learn.
