The Complete Guide to Remembering What You Read – Better Humans

Read it when you need it... ... you can make up a reason to need it... As long as it leads you to directly apply what you learn and turn it from nothing into something... Only then will learning be meaningful.... from reading to retention, I see five phases. Let’s walk through them...
waiting for a few days until you extract a book’s lifeblood...Letting the impressions of a good book sit for some time holds them in your subconscious and makes later drawn conclusions stronger... learning works better spaced out over time... gives you the opportunity to explore other, topically similar books in the meantime... identify universal constructs..
However many pages of notes you end up with, distilling them one last time will show you what the entire book ultimately boils down to and give you an easy tool of reference.
