So I have ‘just started reading’. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I’ve realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I’m really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I’ve kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they’ve read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?
Occasionally, yes, if it is information i need to remember. Often times, however, the act of writing notes is enough. Physically writing notes, even if you won’t re-read them, has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to remember information, and I can also speak anecdotally that it works.
