Explanation:
If there’s one habit that almost all high-performers share, it’s that they read books. A lot of books. Books truly hold the power to accelerate your personal growth and take your life to the next level. I have to admit, without the business and self-help section of Amazon I wouldn’t be where I am today.
However, there is something very important that most people get wrong when it comes to reading. You see, it’s not really about how many books you read, it’s about how you read them. It’s quality over quantity.
The truth is, most people read in a very ineffective way, without even realizing it. They forget most of what they read and only retain a small part of the valuable lessons that their books contain. Most people focus more on the number of books instead of how much knowledge they actually retain and implement per book they read. And that’s a shame, as they could get so much more out of a book by applying just a few simple tips..
Tip 1: Highlight Important Sentences and Paragraphs
By highlighting something, you tell your brain that it should pay attention to that particular segment and therefore you tend to remember it better. Personally, I highlight every single useful piece of advice that I come across. This way, I’m forced to take a few seconds to really analyze the lesson or piece of advice and let it fully sink in.
If you just rush through the book without highlighting or giving yourself a break to let the information sink in, you simply won’t remember a lot of what you’ve read. You could as well be doing something different with your time.
Tip 2: Take Notes Of The Most Valuable Lessons
Besides highlighting important sentences and paragraphs, I noticed that actually writing down the most valuable lessons (in my own words) is one of the best ways to memorize and internalize the information.
I don’t just blindly copy the exact sentences as it’s written by the author. Rather, I try to write it in my own words so that I really make sure I understand the information and that I can relate it to my own personal situation.
For my note-taking process, I prefer to use SmartMarks as they’re easy to use and you can conveniently put them between your book. This way you’ll never lose your notes or forget to take them with you (which used to happen to me all the time before I started using SmartMarks).
In my opinion, taking notes and re-writing the most valuable lessons in your own words is key in accelerating your personal growth. Yes, it may take some time, but it’s definitely worth going the extra mile as you’ll retain a lot more knowledge this way.
