This kind of meta reading strategy never worked for me. My real strategy 1) be deeply curious and motivated about what you’re learning. If you cannot do that, trick yourself into caring, if that fails ask yourself why you are learning it in the first place.
- jacobmischka 5y agoSame, they always seem to basically reduce to rereading it multiple times which I just can't really stomach. I'll reread a paragraph if I don't understand it the first time, but I'm not going to set out to read a thick textbook three times at once.
- jacobmischka 5y agoCertainly, this comment mostly applies to undergraduate and below education. If I'm actually interested in a topic that is my passion and career then the benefit from rereading something a few times may actually be worth it. In school, people for some reason expect you to do this for 4-8 textbooks at once when frankly the subject matter is not that difficult, which is what soured me on the idea.
