How do I read books | #62

Enjoy the process, note down your learnings

Feb 24, 2023

Every Friday, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations. We're a group of 100+ curious people reading these newsletters.

There’s a unique process I follow while reading books. I learnt it from Alex.

Before starting to read a book, I write down my WHY for reading that book and the start date. That helps me be motivated to read that book.

When I am reading, if I come across some knowledgable, intriguing, or amazing, I’ll mark it and write its page number on the first page of the book so that I know on which page I have marked what and is easy to reference later.

In the book, I highlight the important things with a highlighter and the less important things with a pen. I also write or mark a paragraph if needed

If I find an interesting quote in the book, I’ll write that and refer to the page at the back of the book. I end the book with the finishing date of the book

Then, I later transfer all the notes to Notion where I manage notes of all books I read

I made a video on my learnings of journaling. I have been journaling for 11 years and it was a great journey.

There are no weekly recommendations this week. I didn't have time to consume content this week. But you can see all the recommendations I shared in the past newsletters here: weeklyrecommendations.super.site

In this together,
