If there are techniques available, generally not thaught in school, that speed up reading quite easily. Why not call that speed reading? Perhaps x10 is not attainable to most (if any), but +50% is a massive time saver for anyone.
Same goes for mnemonics. The easy tricks are pretty easy to learn and worked for me as well (remembering lists by visualizing a house with rooms). Might have been natural to you, but a learning moment for me.
Obviously don't tunnel your life's savings into any scheme. But in the basics learning more of the skills you use most.. is pretty efficient. (Ever seen your accountant, or doctor type for that matter? Most nurses I saw recently single finger type..)
