The main content of this book is about the classification of reading methods and how to take reading notes.
First, fragment reading.
Tool: Evernote. Create a collection box and collect all your messy words, pictures and articles as long as you can see them. With this collection box, it means that all information will not be scattered everywhere. You will collect them and keep them in one place. Function: lump sum deposit and withdrawal. What kind of materials are needed, just enter the keyword search.
Methods: After finding the content, the core content and knowledge system were disassembled and refined, and then processed, combined and innovated to become our own knowledge.
Effective way: share! Because when sharing, you can verify whether you really understand the concept, and you can also verify and consolidate your own methods while teaching others.
Ways to improve memory: The best way to remember one thing is to practice it repeatedly. Know that a concept is used many times? Reuse? Share verification repeatedly.
Second, read quickly.
How to find the most valuable information from a book quickly and accurately?
Essence or purpose: let the book tell us quickly what it is, what value it has and whether it is worth spending more time and energy on it.
Steps: Because it's not that complicated.
Five key steps of fast reading: asking questions, previewing, scanning, getting to the point and reviewing.
The first step is to learn to ask questions. Only by learning to ask questions can the brain be interested in the content. Pay attention to open questions such as "what", "how", "why", "can" and "willing".
The second step is preview. By reading the table of contents and preface, you can get a general idea of the structure of this book. When previewing, you can draw a mind map for some key chapters, or draw the backbone of the mind map for the three questions raised, and then take the found answers as branches to complete a mind map.
The third step is scanning reading-"autumn wind sweeps leaves" reading. 10 minutes to quickly turn through the whole book, and highlight the beginning or end of paragraphs, charts, titles and some keywords that we focus on.
The fourth step is "cutting"-cutting the key points. Is to sort out the core concepts in this book, that is, to master the core of the whole book. Only by understanding the concept, the concept of series, the concept can we master the concept.
Methods 1: Jiugongge notes (the focus of fast reading) are extracted from the key contents of the whole book and displayed with a picture. Firstly, three related questions are put forward, and nine concepts (keywords) are selected to fill in the questions. Secondly, every keyword is illustrated by copying sentences, fragments and examples. The left back forehead, the three questions raised in the book, can be answered with these nine concepts, and at the same time find the point that makes you "aha".
Method 2: RIA post-it reading method is to present the fragments in the book with post-it notes. If there are some particularly well-written fragments, you can take them directly and make cards, or put them in your own impression notes, and mark the main contents of this passage clearly. Reading in this way, the key points of a book are very easy to understand and summarize.
Jiugongge notes focus on the whole, while RIA post-it notes focus on the part, which complement each other. If you only pay attention to one point, use RIA post-it notes, and if you want to read the core concepts of the whole book, use Jiugongge.
The fifth and final step is review. Use tools such as impression notes to help us collect all the nine squares, knowledge cards, RIA notes, etc. for our use. Because only by learning how to use knowledge and changing our thoughts and habits can we upgrade our cognition. "
The importance of review: from knowing that it will be used to needing review; If you want to remember the contents of the book-let short-term memory be stored in your brain for a long time, you also need to review to strengthen your memory.
Review method:
(1) After reading the notes, you can remember these "short-term contents" by reading the book and the notes made before, and then taking notes in Jiugongge and RIA. Among them, when reviewing, the "Aha" area in Jiugongge's notes should record the places where you feel happy and delighted when reading; The "To-do" area needs to fill in what can be done next, and the action goal should be specific and smart.
(2) Sharing is a process of repeated learning. The more you share, the more times you learn, so teaching others is the best way to learn.
Third, how to make reading notes.
First of all, why? Not to remember, but to extract the best things from books for better understanding and application.
Secondly, how to take reading notes? The steps recommended by the author are: marking books, collecting data, sorting out data, establishing personal library, exporting and starting applications.
When collecting materials, I said the last sentence of "sorting out": forget if you can't see it, and don't use it if you can't see it. You are absolutely right. Therefore, we should pay attention to the content in the book that makes us suddenly realize, subvert cognition and even counter-common sense, and collect it. Methods: (1) Cornell note-taking method: divided into title area (recording the problems to be solved), current situation area, problem area and strategy area (looking for coping strategies in the book). (2) Reading card method: focus the fragmented focus extracted from books on one card and turn it into systematic knowledge content. (3) Mind mapping, reading notes PPT, etc.
It is extremely important to sort out the collected materials: establish a personal "library" and sort out the collected contents to make them clear, so that we can quickly retrieve and find some materials in the future.
Then, think about the collected materials, combine your own opinions and output, and constantly upgrade your cognition. Finally, try to do applications and various exercises.
Fourth, theme reading.
Theme reading is a method of reading many books quickly around a certain theme in a certain period of time.
Fragment bomb: Fragmented theme reading is to collect fragmented articles around a certain theme for a period of time, and then concentrate on reading.
Blasting bomb: book-style theme reading. From the simple cognition before the establishment of the book list, to the establishment of the book list, fast reading, scanning, establishing the framework, and finally finding the answer based on the framework, a whole set of processes. (The general framework is 2w1h-"golden circle rule", that is, "why, how and what", which can explain any topic concisely. Or use a mind map to list all "5W 1H", and then go to the book to find the answer. )
Nuclear bomb: a long-term study of a field. Slowly, bit by bit, move forward in all the ways you can. It may not be mature yet, or it may take a long time, but as long as you keep paying attention, you have been learning.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) deep reading
Deep reading is the fundamental purpose of growth and learning-to make yourself happy and make your family happy.
The happiness of reading is not reading a lot of books, nor how fast you read them, but understanding what you didn't understand before, and the original tangled and chaotic problems suddenly become clear. This is the joy of reading. To get this kind of happiness, we must understand what we read.
Why? Reading is to upgrade our perspective.
What? What is worth reading in depth? Professional content, what you need, the underlying rules you need to know, core knowledge, extensible content, interesting content, content that you can't understand after reading it once. ...
How come? In-depth reading trilogy-training ground: finding connections, exploring icebergs and multi-scene applications. If you encounter a phenomenon, find out which theories can explain it, and try to give five examples to explain what you see, so as to deepen your impression of the theory. Then, learn to enrich your description with visual expression.
Myth: The core lies in understanding, not remembering everything. In fact, as long as you understand the concepts in place, you can have more connections, and you can use the core concepts in the book in multiple scenarios, that is, remember the contents of the book.
Six, how to put the contents of the book into practice?
I especially like Susanna's onion reading method at the end of the book, which is super practical:
So how do you put the contents of the book into action? You can refer to the following steps: ① After reading the "end of the book", write down three questions, and then read them with these questions. (2) After reading it, answer these three questions and write down the next action goal for yourself. ③ Analyze the gap between the goal and reality, what efforts need to be made, and refine the actions to the minimum. ④ In the process of action, constantly modify your "MVP" (minimum feasible product)-minimize feasible product. Even a small step, every step is important.
