2. have a question in mind before you start
3. highlighting resonating ideas after reading full page

1. Have your pen, highlighter, and bookmark ready
2. Write down on the front page of your book *your objective (why should I read this book?)
3. Highlight + Notate in your own words what's impactful for you *only after reading a page
4. Summarize *own words, what you've learned after each chapter
5. Write down your "Actionable Takeaways" *5-10
6. Review Notes Once or Twice a week *write it down and transfer to computer

The idea to summarize a chapter with my own words is fantastic. Thank you!

Excellent video. Everything to the point and presented in a logical manner. I’ve learned about ideas I need to try out for myself.

Excellent tips.i used to take notes this way during literature review for my research. Felt so productive after successfully summarising several articles using these techniques over the years.

This is the best note-taking video I've seen on YouTube. Thank you!

[zaleinakartick]

Fantastic advice - thank you so much! I prefer to hand-write my favorite quotes from a digital copy of the book into a journal because it helps me remember more but I LOVE the idea of trying to summarize a whole chapter in your own words.

I love this for its efficiency and because it coincidentally works well with how I read and I take notes!!! #respect

[Xmoon_pandaX]

Thank you! your advice gave me a solid outline for note taking/ information retention practice. I also like the idea of transferring physical notes to a laptop, that will help with information retention.
