Farnam's on how to read books
[#farnam-how-to-read] exposes a structured way to remember what you read. It's divided in three steps:
- Active reading - AKA info gathering, making a ritual, link to real life
- Remembering - AKA take notes and make links
- Following up - AKA applying to your context, reviewing
There are two points particularly interesting: 202109122338 Gather context around what you're consuming 202109122337 Drop books when no longer interesting

- Do note waste time on something that's uninteresting. Jump around topics that catch your attention
