How To Speed Up Time

Max February 28, 2011

Do you ever wish you could speed up time or that your day had 24 hours from morning to evening, and then some?

I know I do.

Especially when I need to catch up with recorded information, courses and other stuff that seems to go on and on. Not only would it raise my productivity through the roof, it would give me so much more time to live.

Speed reading is one solution. Speed listening is much easier to do, but to be able to do this we have to crack the secret of how to speed up time.

In the service of brevity, here is this secret revealed to you in less than 10 minutes flat:

I hope you enjoyed this video. I’ll certainly enjoy reading your comments.

Thanks

  1. Hi Max
    Thank you ever so much for these GREAT tools – So usefull.

    Sometimes I can almost scream to the video” Get to the Bloody Point” – But now I am control, thanks to you 🙂

    Ps: I adore your british accent 🙂

    1. Hi Tina,

      I know how you feel. Still, Pacemaker only speeds up MP3s, not videos as far as I could make out. However, one way around this problem is using “Download Helper”, a Firefox extension (just Google it). I simply download online videos, which I then view with Real Player or any other viewer at hand skipping along as I see fit. That also saves time especially as I can work while the video downloads.

      Cheers,
      Max

  2. Hi Max

    Come on, let’s be honest…how many of us have been into a pre-recorded video or audio and wished they would hurry up…me certainly…too many times. I thought it was just me…

    Thanks pal, this will be a useful tool.

    best regards

    1. Hi Joe,

      I haven’t been able to speed up video (yet?) with Pacemaker but, hey, for a free tool, who’s complaining?

      Enjoy the extra time.

  3. Hey Max:

    Awesome video.

    I tried listening to audio files at 2x tempo a couple of years ago but I have not done it since then. I need to do this again as I currently have about 10 webinar replays that I need to listen to. Each one is at least 2 hours long so this will help.

    I can’t remember what tools I used in the past so I am going to download your suggested programs.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    All my best to you,

    – Rick

    1. Hi Rick,

      The good thing about Pacemaker (apart from being free) is that you set the speed very easily at which the audio is still perfectly understandable without distortion.

      Happy listening

  4. Thank you for your valuable suggestion. I have had winamp (seem to have two versions) sitting on my desk top for a long, long time. They cloned themselves or something – so I installed my winamp 5552. I am now happily listending to some great jazz as the winamp also introduces you to masses of internet radio stations. If I want I can put it onto my android phone – which I don’t want to do. But that is where I am with it. Thanks for the inspiration. Havent tried the pacemaker yet.

    1. Jools,

      Just make sure that you have the latest version of Winamp to work with Pacemaker. Pacemaker will tell you which version you need.

      Happy speeding up.

      Max
