A new technique I'm trying to implement - reciting 5 lines in one breath. I'm trying to apply this both to revision and to the new 5 lines I'm learning every day. I remember Shaykh Akram Nadwi mentioning once how in Nadwatul Ulama they had an entire verb table 3 times in one breath. I actually think there's a logic to this apparent madness. If you can recite something fluently (without compromising accuracy) then it is better encoded. I'm finding I'm remembering previous day's memorised portions better with this 'speed reading' technique. At present I'm not just sticking to reading the new portion 10 times throughout the day in isolated episodes, but especially whilst driving really mastering a new portion well so that I can (almost) read that new 5 line segment in one breath. Inevitably the efficiency is also increased with this technique. You end up reading very fast. Couple of other things: Driving to and from work is a real blessing...
