Why read books?
The question is simple, but everyone has their own answer. Reading books is one way to develop almost for free. Books are new knowledge. Answers to almost all life situations can be found in books. With the help of books you can learn and experience what will not happen to you in real life, move in time and unobtrusively plunge into someone else's life, develop your own imagination. Or maybe Francis Bacon’s answer will be closer to you:
“Read not to contradict and refute, not to accept on faith, and not then to find a subject for conversation; but to think and reason. ”
Paper or e-book?
As you prefer. It is compact to carry the entire library in one device, or to have with you the one you are reading at the moment. Work.ua in no case imposes its opinion. He simply does not understand how to exchange the smell of a new book, the rustling of pages, bookmarks made by hand, the tactile sensations of touching a print publication, followed by the work of a huge number of people.
Oh, it seems that the author accidentally imposed his opinion. He is very sorry. True, there is no difference how to read, the main thing is to develop and learn new things from books.
How to organize work with a book to memorize what you read for a long time
From each book we take out something useful: some kind of phrase, idea, quote. What do you do to remember her? Or to quickly find when you need it? While remembering, look at what Work.ua offers.
1. We took the book in hand. What do you want?
Before reading, ask yourself: what do you want to know about the book, what problems will it help you solve? This will help while reading to catch on topics that are useful to you.
2. Make notes right in the book
If you read effectively, then you will accumulate quotes, passages and thoughts about what you read. This is valuable information, a real book concentrate. Which cannot be ruined on the pages. You can set bookmarks in the e-book. But work with a “living” book can be turned into real co-creation with the author. Highlighter, pencil, self-adhesive bookmarks - choose what is bold enough.
3. Talk about what you read.
Be sure to talk about what you read, about new interesting facts, about emotions experienced by someone. So remember better, and enrich someone with new knowledge.
Do not keep interesting and useful information in the chest. If you don’t tell live, then you can write your reviews:
on the blog;
in social networks;
in a notebook.
Special writing skills for this will not be required. And so you will have a place to store quotes and passages, and your friends - a couple of reasons to love you even more.
For those completely obsessed, you can create a personal quote, compiling knowledge on subtopics and topics. Summaries can be quoted at work, share thoughts with family, re-read later yourself.
4. Reread your book notes
There are only 3 effective ways to remember what you read:
Impression when you visually represent all the described images.
Associations, when you connect the meaning of what you read with something that is already familiar to you.
Repetition is the mother of learning. And that's it. The more often you return to your favorite books, the better you save them in your memory.
Therefore, if you “squeeze” a book into several pages, then half an hour will be enough for you to sort through your book stocks. So key ideas will always be at a hand's distance from their practical application.
Still notes help return to interesting questions later and see if your point of view has changed over time, to communicate with yourself through space and time.
5. Use speed reading techniques
Read carefully, savoring every page, always better. But if you are chasing the speed and amount of reading, use the speed reading techniques.
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th US President and one of the most popular state politicians, read hard. The story tells how he managed to read a book during breakfast. How did he do that?
Used peripheral vision. The method consists of 2 methods:
Drive with a pen or pencil along each line you read, as children do when they learn to read.
To begin to read each new line with at least the third word, and try to catch the first two words with peripheral vision. Go to the next line at least three words before the end of the line itself.
He did not say the words out loud. When we read, speaking, we significantly slow down the process, because we read at the same speed as we say. To wean yourself from this habit, read “A-E-I-O-U” constantly or read “1, 2, 3, 4” when reading. This technique will wean read by the larynx or lips and will help to read only with the eyes.
I did not return to what I read. Very often after reading a couple of words, a person returns unconsciously to the first. To wean yourself from this, move your index finger along the line faster than you usually read.
