I am trying currently to develop a learning system. I am by nature very curious and love reading and learning. I read daily 10s pages, articles, books, watch videos in many subject. However, I find myself forgetting most of it. Yesterday, I saw a wonderful book which I read last year (The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion), and I realized I don't even remember the main thesis of the book! This was a book that had a strong effect on me. Something is broken in the way I consume knowledge. I feel that the main issue lies in the lack of repetition. I read a book on a subject, think about it a bit, then move on to something else, and in a year or so nothing is retained. The spaced repetition theory seems to provide an answer to this. I have currently stumbled upon the software SuperMemo. In addition to the usual card stuff from anki, it allows something called "Incremental reading". This feels like the solution to my problem. The idea is that you read to learn. You can read about it more here http://super-memory.com/help/read.htm#Introduction_to_incremental_reading http://super-memory.com/help/read.htm#Introduction_to_increm... but the main concepts are that: - you add your readings to a priority queue - the software schedule for you the readings - you read and distill the main information at the same time - the software revisits the information that you have distilled in intervals, each time you revisit information you improve over your distillation and create flashcards from it I am still learning this new approach. I have to say, the software is extremely complicated and badly designed. I would love something like this would exist as a plugin to roam. A way for you to at the same time: - determine the priorities of your reading and orchestrate them - build a wiki-like knowledge graph - easily create flash cards - extract knowledge from articles
