Summary and Realization
Efficient memo method
- Summarize using words instead of long sentences
- Recording is not only for reviewing, but also for focusing on the moment
- Summary is the key
- Try to sum up after reading one chapter. You can look up the book again Need to the courage to throw away not important things
Tips for practical use in daily life
- Allocate time once a week to organize scattered notes
- Writing and reviewing should be done together to make the recording shine
- Take time to frequently look back at the notes I wrote and reminisce, like watching a movie of you
Even my disorganized photo album can be considered a record, but I havenโt summarized them at all.. ๐ (Because my photo album is quite messy)
- Categorize important knowledge little by little each day, under categories such as work, study, conversation, thoughts, and daily life (The writer recommend this categorization method more than the library-style categorization)
This is a method I have been using in my own way through reminders, etc.
Other interesting things
- Kant's theory of perception. Humans can only accept what they have accepted themselves, and the rest is just "thing-in-itself"
Now What?
Since about 7 years ago, when reading a book or watching a good video, I have been typing and transcribing sentence by sentence on my laptop or iPad. Transcribing helped me concentrate in the moment and although it reduced time efficiency, it allowed me to feel deeply each sentence. However, there are so many books I want to read, and when asked if this method would help me remember for a long time, I couldn't say yes, so I had doubts about summarizing books or something.
By chance, I watched a video by Professor Ik-han Kim and although the new book called 'Possible' was more interesting, it was not available the online library service that I subscribe(called Millie's), so I took a quick look at this book, The Giant's Notebook. I skipped the first two chapters and focused on the part of the recording method, which was very helpful and gave me confidence in summarizing and organizing, which ultimately motivated me to start this blog.
From now on, when reading a book or watching a video, I will digest the knowledge within me and build up my records based on the knowledge I have felt as my way.
