Ask HN: How do you retain knowledge from books?
What do you do to implement the lessons you've learned?
- mittermayr 13y agoOne thing people often do, and it does help to a certain extent is to write/blog about the books you read. Summarize the essentials for your readers, it'll serve them as inspiration for new reading material and you as a perfect refresh of what you actually read and worked through.
- Ryel 13y agoStop trying to read fast like a moron. As you see bits and pieces of text that you want to remember, you should be internalizing those words, thinking about their true meaning, asking yourself if you agree/disagree, and thinking about how you would approach the same thing in a different way. The key to memory is meaningful association.
