How do famous artists take reading notes?

The first category is to be a personal "book". According to Dayan Junzhi's practical reading guide, when reading, we use personalized marking methods-using different color labels to represent different important contents, and writing keywords on post-it notes as indexes.

Or write the reading comprehension directly in the margin of the page, even if the book is dirty, record it and capture the thoughts that flash in your mind, which may be extended to the arguments or cases of an article in the future. So you can make a personal book after reading it.

This method is suitable for friends who have no time to sort out their reading notes. They read, think and record at the same time, which makes the reading experience relatively complete. However, due to the size of the blank area of the book, I can't write a long story, and I need to look through the book to find it, so it is inconvenient to carry it out.

The second category, the traditional way of taking notes, handwritten records. When we were young, we were all asked by our teachers to write reading notes. At that time, we were tired of dealing with it, so we just copied it down, never repeated it or even watched it twice.

In How to Read a Book Effectively, Keno Kono introduced the note-taking method of "onion hot pot", extracted the essence of the book by "three-time reading method", and then copied several original sentences or an abstract in the book by traditional note-taking, and attached the feeling of reading.

If there are many books for reading notes, you can also compile index pages for easy reference. This way of accumulation is tangible and easy to review in the future. The fly in the ointment is that it takes a lot of time.

It is not difficult to find that since the appearance of electronic products, handwriting has become less and less, and phenomena such as forgetting words, scribbling and slow writing are common. Handwritten notes require patience and perseverance, and the accumulated gains are still great.

In addition, the handwritten contents such as "Cornell Notes" and "Empty Umbrella Notes" in "Smart People Check Notebooks" are relatively concise. Extract elements from the book and take notes in the form of logical diagrams to awaken the memory of reading and leave an impression on some contents.

The third category, online notes save reading information, and the cloud platform escorts writing. All handwritten notes can be converted into electronic versions. People use more impression notes, taking notes and so on.

The advantage of network notes is that in addition to reading notes, you can also randomly save the materials of network browsing and even store the whole article. The mind mapping method in Practical Reading Guide is especially suitable for cloud platform storage.

I once saw a columnist's cloud platform note classification. According to the writing direction, people, events, news, history and humanities can be classified respectively. Among them, people can be divided into life, marriage, reports, deeds, works, etc., thus enriching the reading content into a deep-rooted personalized "resource tree", which can provide a steady stream of "nutrients" for writing over time.

The fourth category, post-it notes, is posted where you need them. Teacher Zhao Zhou pointed out in "Reading in this way is enough" that knowledge itself has no value, and only by internalizing knowledge into one's own experience-"disassembling it for one's own use" can one really learn. The disassembly method is divided into three steps: restate the information in your own language, describe your related experience and my application (goals and actions).

This way of taking notes, don't use "old knowledge" to attach "new knowledge", that is, you think you have understood it and read it thoroughly, but in fact you still stay at the old ideological level. After the book is opened, it can be discarded, and the "experience" I opened can be practiced repeatedly in my work and life, and I can gain more experience.

As Mr. Feng Youlan once said, reading might as well be "carried away" and kick off the bridge. Overcome the problem of "I can't stand it, I can't remember it", treat books as doctors, and turn what is valuable to me into my own ability.

The above simple analysis of the classification of reading notes. At first, I was very demanding of my reading notes. It is difficult to recover from a slight interruption, and it is easy to "give up halfway". Looking back now, reading notes can be used as needed according to the author's status, and there is no "master key" to open the door to all problems.
