The common strategies that you'll find people do are: - take notes in margins - phrase what you read in your own words - think critically about what you read But for me, I extract the most value when I discuss what I read with others. Not only does it provide more motivation for reading but I also find myself with a lot more insight after a conversation with a friend about what we just read.
