How to solve the problem of remembering after reading?

I continue to sort out the learning materials about memory, and there are ways for others to share them online. I will share it here to deepen my understanding of this issue.

I don't understand the secretary for two reasons:

First, that's the book you must read; Second, you don't have the habit of taking notes at will.

So, how does the author read it?

First, take out a book that you really want to read. This is the premise, so that you can be interested in reading this book. In the sharing above, we have talked about 10 ways to improve your memory. The second is that you are interested enough in what you want to learn. Interest can keep your brain excited and arouse your attention to explore what you want to know in the book.

In this way, you will be in a positive state, just like a person who wants to travel to Tibet. Get your luggage ready, do your homework, and wait for a gunshot to go where you want to go.

On the contrary, why do you sometimes go to a place or meet someone without any impression? Just because you are not interested in this matter, you hurried by. I didn't leave a deep impression after crossing the water.

Secondly, you didn't take reading notes.

I used to be a consumer when I was studying. I just have nothing to do in my spare time and find reading more interesting. There are all kinds of new things in the book. I hope I can see what I don't know in that world and understand what I don't know.

Reading in this way has no clear purpose. Besides, my memory is not very good. Reading the books I have read, I can only give a general idea, and I can't understand the details and processes in the book like some people do.

Sometimes, when I am reading a book, I will draw my favorite sentences with strokes. Or, I will often extract these sentences. However, I was not deeply impressed afterwards.

I have learned this new reading method since I started reading "Card Notes Writing Method" last year. When reading, I will write notes in places that touch my thoughts. Most importantly, here is a psychological research result. The easier it is to remember, the harder it is to extract. It's easy to remember, but I can't remember it when I use it, and I can't find it in my memory.

Therefore, once you know this characteristic of memory, you can use backhand control, which is a problem that you can't grasp and skate fast.

That is to take reading notes.

Here, the reading method introduced in his book Reading perfectly applies the above two points.

On the first day, he took out a book he wanted to read, but he wouldn't read it line by line like me. Instead, turn the page quickly, find the chapters, keywords or pictures you are interested in and start reading. Then, jump up and down, look forward and turn back. See another place from one place, see another person's story from one person's story, and mark it while watching.

The next day, I read in order, remembered some key words against my own marks, and found some missing places.

Then, he began to write reading notes on WeChat and summarized them in his own words. This is another important place, why should we summarize it in our own words? Because only when you digest the knowledge in the book into your own things can you speak it in your own language. There is a process of your digestion and transformation of knowledge. Speaking out shows that you have turned this part of the content into your own knowledge. Change knowledge from short-term memory to long-term memory, and make a clear label in the memory bank. As I said before, only by making memory difficult can you get it back smoothly when you use it later.

Two days later, I wrote more than 1000 words on WeChat, and I plan to write a comprehensive and in-depth review at the weekend (this is also a standard for rereading in the future).

For some books that I have to read, but have little interest at the moment, I adopt another method: I set up an index table for this book myself. Read the introduction, preface and recommendation carefully, and ask yourself to summarize with a few questions:

(1) Who is this book for? Am I a reader of Who?

(2) What are the core chapters of this book? What problem does the author want to solve?

(3) How to sum up this book in three words?

(4) Have you ever read a book with this structure before?

(5) Is this book a general work or a book in a book? Why?

Taking these questions as the reading goal, this book has changed from a book that is not very interesting to a book that has a clear goal to explore. At this time, you can use the method of reading interesting books in front, and write reading notes or post-reading feelings while reading.
