How to read books and remember what you read

Every day we receive a huge amount of information. We read too slowly to read over everything we need to. Therefore, we share useful information that will help increase the speed of reading and improve the quality of information assimilation.

1. It all starts with a realization of the goal

Think about what you want to learn before reading. Understanding the goal will tune your brain to a wave of searching for answers to questions.


2. Give preference to paper books

Studies show that reading from a monitor reduces productivity by 30% and, in addition, we forget digital information faster than the one received from paper media.

3. Eliminate external distractions

Try to remove all distractions while reading. Give yourself a direction — "I have 40 minutes when will read a book, and after that I will return to other things".

4. Learn how to single-task

It is possible to consciously do only one thing at a time. Sometimes we misguidedly think that someone is good at multitasking. In fact, this person does not do several things at once, but constantly switches over between them. This is detrimental to the result.

5. Make a brief summary after reading each chapter

After you have finished the chapter, put the book down and write down what you remember best.

And what do you remember from what you read?
