First of all, talk about the book "Practical Reading Guide".
This book mainly focuses on taking notes while reading, writing down the most important contents in the book and putting them into action.
According to this book, the most important part of a book is only 4%, so find this 4% and write it down. I agree with him. In my opinion, the most difficult thing to read a book is the beginning. Every time I come across a book, I have to write down everything in it. There's too much pressure. Such a great pressure may destroy your courage to pick up the book. So, relax and don't put pressure on yourself. As long as you can get something useful for yourself in every book. Then you can get something from this book. What if I miss the rest of the book? Don't worry, get other knowledge next time you read. Or even if no other knowledge is acquired. After all, the knowledge you can use is your own knowledge.
When reading this book, I really want to know how to put the knowledge in the book into action. Unfortunately, although the fourth chapter of the book mentioned this problem, he didn't convince me. He told us how to do it, but he didn't tell me why. Therefore, I don't believe that the method he provided can keep me going. Because people have emotional brains and rational brains, too complicated GTD can easily make their emotions out of control and make them unable to hold back.
I don't quite agree with this book, that is, I suggest reading three books at the same time, and they are different kinds of books, so as to enhance my interest. When reading, some contents in the book will enter the subconscious. If you switch, it often takes some time to adjust and recall where you saw last time and what the previous content was. Compared with everyone else, there will be the experience of reading a book in the middle, not reading it for a while, and putting the book aside to eat ash. And this method recommended by this book, there is a great possibility that several books can't stand it.
Let's talk about "how to read a book effectively-super practical note reading method". I spent less than an hour browsing this book. For me, the density of this book is really too low, and its similarity with the two books "Checknotes for Smart People" is too high.
I didn't get nothing from this book, but I got some inspiration. It takes some time to read your reading notes repeatedly. By doing so, you can deepen your impression of the contents of the book and have a new experience of what you thought before.
Of course, the premise of doing this is that I have recognized the three-stage exercise of reading notes: extracting the original text-describing it in my own words-experiencing it.
The content of this book is the method of taking notes used by many authors themselves, how to mark them, how to use notes and so on. These are all too fragmented technologies. And even if I master these skills, what can I do? So that I can study effectively? In my opinion, this book lacks a general outline and an outline. That is, what is the use of taking notes and why I should do it. There are obviously few answers to this question in the book, so I can't be persuaded to learn some skills of the author patiently.
Finally, the book Efficient Reading, which I read a few months ago. The impression is already very shallow. This book gave me two of the first 10 readers' rights: the right to skip reading and the right not to finish reading. These two rights are like giving me a shot in the arm. I have no obsessive-compulsive disorder. I must read the book from beginning to end. In this way, I have more and more opportunities to open books. After all, the psychological pressure when opening books has become much smaller than before.
In other contents, the author is talking about how to make himself like reading more if he creates a reading environment. However, various schemes can still be scattered, and they are all tricks. The problem is, I haven't been convinced by you. Tell me your method. Can I listen to you? Therefore, this is still an accepted method. After reading it, I still approve or disapprove. People have no desire to act according to their inner plans.
I recommend two books about reading skills, one is how to read a book, and the other is how to read enough. Comments and ideas about these two books will be discussed next time.
