Anyone who wants to make progress should learn to take notes.

There are many reasons why I made up my mind to start writing reading notes. First of all, although I didn't read more than a dozen books last year, I forgot the contents so quickly, let alone what I gained. Secondly, in-depth thinking needs material, and there is no way to go deep without records. So, I began to suspect that this way of reading, the way of reading without records is inefficient.

Good memory is not as bad as writing. Don't be too confident in your memory and brain capacity. I have a bad memory, so I can't help it!

2) The process of thinking needs to be presented, and notes are a good form. If you are inspired, generate must be at its best. Remember to write it down. We'll consider whether it's paper notes or electronic notes later.

-Paper is recommended for reading notes, because handwriting is the least brain-consuming, and the typing keyboard needs to be occupied. Paper notes can play the best role when reading a large book.

-I usually have an epiphany. I suggest using a mobile APP, and recommend an evernote or a small diary, which is convenient and quick.

3) Notes can provide more thinking materials, especially when it is necessary to review the core ideas of a book.

4) The original text is the best source of nutrition. When taking notes, remember to extract the original text that you think is excellent. Read it several times when reviewing, and this wisdom will become your own.

Think it over and do it. Finding the right note format is the first step.

I started to look for those note gods, and I got many different notes. Some people write notes carefully, print out the cover of the book and stick it on their notes, which makes the ceremony feel bursting. Good-looking is good-looking, but I woke up soon. This kind of thing is like taking class notes in high school. For the purpose of beauty, it may be useless. I'm afraid that saying a wrong word will affect my appearance, so how dare I let go of my will? The purpose of writing reading notes is to record your thoughts in time and quickly. There can't be too many restrictions. This is my personal experience.

There is nothing wrong with these beautiful note formats, but it takes a lot of time. When I printed the cover, I was afraid that all the inspiration would run away. Still pragmatism suits me.

Finding the most suitable form of notes is the most important thing!

Later, I read the notebook sharing of various great gods, so I won't describe it here. Finally, I saw a young lady's domineering sharing, which made me decide that this way is suitable for me. Combined with my own notebook format, I developed my own set of notes.

1) Find and write basic information such as the name and author of the book. In the form of grid notes, it is divided into two columns, the theme on the left and the text on the right. The blank space on the left can leave room for notes when rereading later.

2) The way to extract is: the original content ... P 12, directly switch to writing this excerpt, write it with confidence, confidently point out the mountains and rivers, and not afraid of mistakes in the notebook. Thinking is a gradual process.

3) Review your notes regularly to promote new thinking.

Refer to the above picture:

About how to take notes and the format of notes, my idea is about this. If you start thinking, remember to write down these thoughts and epiphany!

After talking about the format of reading notes, let's talk about the process from reading to sorting into notes.

Recently, I intensively read How to Read a Book-[America] Mortimer &; Charles, have some inspiration. In fact, before reading this book, I was already exploring my own reading methods. After reading this book, it's like I've been playing electronic products for a long time and got a manual. I realized a little coincidence between theory and practice.

The author divides reading into four different levels, just like grading apples, there is still a big gap between perfect apples and rotten apples, as follows:

1) Basic reading. -Be literate, know words, read simply, and understand the simplest meaning of each sentence.

2) Review reading. -within a certain period of time, extract the key points of this passage or this article. From junior high school to senior high school, we have done many similar trainings.

3) Analytical reading. Compared with the first two kinds of reading, analytical reading is more complicated and systematic, and it is a more complete reading and a better reading. This is also the best reading method we can do outside the basic education. In short, it should be regarded as intensive reading, giving unlimited time to read a book completely until you understand it.

Francis Bacon once said: "Some books can be tasted, some books can be eaten alive, and only a few books are chewed and digested." Analytical reading is the chewing and digestion of a book.

4) Theme reading. -Read multiple books on the same topic at the same time, and answer questions comprehensively. Requires high reading skills and understanding.

Most people are between the third and fourth levels. The main difference is to understand and distinguish whether a book is suitable for their abilities. It is also important to think about what kind of life you want and what is the meaning of life.

Don't laugh, I'm serious. Reading is a process of finding meaning. If you don't think about this unique meaning to you, what are you studying for?

Many people often ask: "why do I read a lot of books, but I still can't live a good life?" Because the order is reversed! In the era of information explosion, only by thinking about what kind of life you want, then looking for knowledge, reading books that can shape you, reading more books that suit you, and starting from thinking about yourself, can you live a satisfactory life. If you always gobble up, don't think, don't look for, even if you finish reading the books in this world, you can't find yourself. Reading is a process of finding yourself!

In How to Read a Book, I also learned the following points:

1. Be sure to read actively. The more active, the better the effect.

What I mean by understanding initiative is, don't think too much, just pick up the book and read it smoothly. You can discard the books you don't like. It doesn't matter. It is ok to create a positive reading environment for yourself, such as putting some books next to the pillow to make the sofa more comfortable, or making an annual reading plan for yourself.

2. Real reading is a process of self-improvement with the help of one's own mind and without any external force.

Does everyone have the habit of going to Zhihu to search for film reviews immediately after watching movies? But reading, it is best not to do this. Before or after reading, it is best to rely on your own understanding ability, take notes, write reading notes, and only use your own words.

This kind of thinking will change with the increase of reading, and this change is probably growth.

To really own a book, you must make it a part of yourself, that is, write it down.

I have read many books about reading, and some writers' views on reading basically emphasize recording and taking notes, which I have always admired. After reading the book, I must spend some time writing reading notes.

No matter what level you stay in reading, just start writing reading notes. I tried to read several philosophical books, such as Schopenhauer's The Wisdom of Life and Russell's The Road to Happiness. Personally, I feel that I can write about 5-6 pages, and it takes some time to write both sides, but it is worthwhile to read them back, because there are really few good books.

4. There are few good books, so we should learn to select and use intensive reading and skimming.

Yes, read more books and you will be screened.

This requires the awareness of taking notes when reading!

1) read through. When reading, underline the sentences you think are good.

2) Reread. Read the whole book and reread the underlined places carefully. If it's still useful, leave a mark on the corner. In the process of corner folding, you should be impressed with the relevant content, which is helpful to take notes according to the theme.

3) Excerpts. Check every corner one by one and take notes according to the topic. The theme is in blue pen and the content is in black.

4) review. The blue theme is a long-term problem that needs to be reviewed and considered. With the increase of reading, feelings and thoughts will be different. So there should be room for recording feelings in the future.

5) output. Reading without thinking, thinking without output, don't be such a person. The process of expressing the books you have read in your own language is the process of digesting and transforming them into your own knowledge system.

1) Do you think of a book after reading this reading note, or do you just write something after reading a paragraph, because both methods involve the order of writing notes. For example, sometimes you often read several books at the same time, so how do you record notes or feelings about different books?

Reply:

Whether reading a paper book or an e-book, my first feeling is to write it down immediately. Paper books are written directly next to paragraphs. At present, e-books are all read by WeChat, with the functions of underlining and writing feelings.

The process of writing reading notes is: the first time, the second time, focusing on screening, adding subtitles, and the third time, sorting into notes. Because of the subtitle, if you encounter the same problem in the future, you can clearly remember what is mentioned in that book and what the original text looks like, which is conducive to writing according to the topic in the future.

If you have the habit of reading several books at the same time, you can take notes after reading them according to my method. Usually after reading it, you will have a new feeling, which is also a supplementary process; You can also buy a loose-leaf book and record it at any time, depending on your habits.

2) Is this notebook erasable? What's the effect?

Reply:

Notes can't be erased, and I don't think it's necessary to erase them. This reading note is just a preliminary arrangement of a book. If a good book has the habit of reading it several times, we can continue to write it in the blank or write it later. I believe that the second and third impressions are definitely different and more profound. Sometimes I will rearrange in class, which is also a deepening process.

3) Where can I buy a notebook?

There are many on Taobao, which are Japanese brands-Maruman, model N 195A, A5, 7mm horizontal lines.

Above.

I hope you all like reading.
