So problem = I can't remember shit from books. I either highlighted extensively in Kindle (and didn't go back to them), made extremely detailed outlines (and didn't go back to them), or jotted down haphazard thoughts on a notepad (and didn't go back to them). (1/25)

My memory fades over time, so all that remains of books is whatever I can remember and my notes gathering dust in a corner. So, how to make up for this? (2/25)

So two, the purpose of remembering is, after all, using! Therefore, maintain a system that empowers you to *use* what you've read without requiring that you memorize it. (4/25)

's online notes, "'Better note-taking' misses the point; what matters is 'better thinking'" (This is a GOLDMINE. It takes some clicking to get a hang of what's going on, but it's easily one of the best things that happened to me this year) (5/25)
