Reading books is a waste of time unless you have a

system of remembering what you read
So you can use the knowledge practically to improve your life

How to remember what you read (and actually use it to improve your life) 1
 Get into the Reading Habit
He makes it a priority

First thing in the morning, before anything

Reading in the morning > lifting weights in the morning

He has a notepad beside him and he takes notes whenever he learns something
valuable

Don’t write quotes or direct sentence

Read the paragraph or page and think

“How can I use this practically in my life?”

Taking notes IN YOUR OWN WORDS is the most valuable advice he gives in the

Book Summary Learning Recap

Create a Notion Database
2 different sections

Daily learning objective

Reading is pointless unless you do this

Keep it beside your desk, and use what you learned in the reading
throughout the day when possible

This goes above just remembering what you read

Make it on a paper notepad

Make a recap of objectives on Notion

Weekly highlight

Make a bullet point list of the most valuable things you have learned this
week

Future you can come back and read the bullet points and remind yourself of
your daily objectives

 Book summary learning lesson

It is a Notion page for every book you read

Transfer the most important notes on each book you read from your
paper notebook over to Notion

Any time you want to recap a book you can refer back to this

Re read books that give you the most value

EX Re-read the 4 hour work week

1st time reading was valuable

2nd time you learn 10x more

If a book changes your lifestyle, you can re read it months or years in the
future and get more value from it because you have already made changes
to your lifestyle

Most valuable books you read - keep them and re read them

The most valuable part of reading isn't reading, it’s LEARNING

You need a system that helps you remember what you read, and allows you
to apply the knowledge into your own life
