Reading books is the best habit I've developed since graduating from college. I've used this system to retain more of what I read. It's definitely not perfect, but it's helped me get a lot more out of my time reading. Curious if others have developed different techniques that have been helpful for retaining and applying knowledge from books. I feel like I can still get a lot better on this front.
