What is the purpose of reading 1?
Before reading a book, you should think clearly about why you want to read it. Is it to learn and improve? Or to kill time? Different purposes, different contents; For example, writing encounters a bottleneck and there is no material in my mind. If I want to study, the purpose of studying is simple, that is, to enrich myself. At this time, I got a wide range of things, and I can use them as long as I feel good.
2. How to achieve your goals?
Think about how to get what you need quickly and effectively by reading books; Set questions for yourself and read with these questions and purposes, and you will actively absorb the relevant knowledge points in the book. When you read a book on the premise of thinking output, the quality of thinking input will also improve.
Tips for improving reading efficiency.
1. Combination of fast reading and intensive reading
Reading can be combined with speed reading and intensive reading. Look at the catalogue first, and then divide the books into different grades (marked with colored pens) according to the catalogue.
The first level: what is needed and may be useful to yourself;
The second level: interested (not necessarily useful);
The third level: it may not be of much use/interest;
Speed reading and intensive reading are conducted according to grades. This method is suitable for reading and learning reference books, and you can get what you need by browsing quickly, without having to read all the contents slowly.
2. Keep writing reading notes
Prepare a special notebook to record important contents and your feelings at any time during reading. In this way, we don't need to reread the book every time. We just need to read the notes once to deepen our memory and sort out useful information. When writing reading notes, don't forget to record the date, title, author, etc. Write down the information together.
If you want to record a lot of content and time is too late, you might as well put it for a while first. If you still need it after a while, that is the important content that must be recorded.
Step 3 read books in order
Reading is not from the first page to the last. A good reading order is to read the waist, front cover and back cover of the book first, and then read the table of contents and preface.
Integrate into one's own thinking
Arthur schopenhauer once said, "You can't forget what you have read without thinking or reading endlessly, and most of it will eventually disappear." At this time, many people comforted themselves: "The books I have read, like the meals I have eaten, have already melted into my blood." This is a kind of self-deception, reading is your own business, and it only counts if it really helps you, so you must think more about reading.
5. Review books regularly
For those who have the perfect habit of reading records, most of the time they just need to read the reading notes, but there are also some books that make us have new thoughts and feelings every time we read them, which are worth collecting and reading several times.
A critic said: If you have five books you can take out and reread at any time, then you have become an excellent reading expert; We have enough information to refer to at this time. For example, when reading a new book, you will refer to the contents and concepts of this book and compare which ones are different, which ones are extensions of the old ones and which ones can be included in the same knowledge system.
Read books of interest
Interest is the best teacher. If you read books that you are not interested in from the beginning, it will really be inefficient and gain little; Therefore, we can start with the story-telling books that we are interested in, step by step, cultivate our reading habits first, and then turn into reading some books with strong knowledge; You know, reading is to improve yourself, not to deal with anyone. I hope everyone can be curious and interested in new knowledge and skills.
