Recent Favorites I’ve Read
The bullet point list in A System for Remembering What You Read helped me rethink how to better comprehend what I read.
The Feynman Technique: The Best Way to Learn Anything is a powerful framework for learning. In particular, the first step of teaching a subject to a child was my biggest takeaway.
I found The Top 3 Most Effective Ways to Take Notes While Reading fascinating as I like to highlight books that I read. After reading this article, I’m switching to writing notes in my books for improved comprehension.
Writing in the margins is a strategy I’ll use when reading my next book. The Necessity of Marginalia in the Age of the Ebook shows why this makes sense.
Why You Shouldn’t Slog Through Books hit home for me as I’m guilty of not putting down bad books. This quote “The better idea is to read what seems awesome and interesting to you now and to let your curiosities grow organically.” is what I’ll take with me.
