1/Some miscellaneous points: https://twitter.com/NeidhartKesler/status/832709093437550592 …

3/I find that my eyes don't like the color/underlining/wavy lines, so I actually AVOID looking at the highlighted passages
-
4/That doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work tho. First of all, to read you need to ID #1 sentence per para, #1 concept per sentence, etc
-
5/The highlight-rhythm gives kinetic feedback to reinforce a mental routine; helps keep you steady by physically echoing the essential task
-
6/So if you read the book, cover it in highlights, and never read it again, that can be fine (just remember to replace the book immediately)
-
7/But what if you're going to need to read a book 2 or 3 times? (Because it's hard, or to do research...) Don't foul it up on first fly-by.
-
8/One idea is to do replacing the highlighting w/ stick-notes on each page (that you can throw out later); another is to recreate the rhythm
-
9/-by creating an outline or a running summary as you read (which tends to take longer). Experiment
-
10/Another under-used strategy is marking up the outside of the book: delinquent practice writing their names or drawing smilies here
-
11/But you can also use it to flag pages where important words are introduced, create a visual table of contents, etc
