How to take reading notes The first step: Look at the author's brief introduction, abstract and table of contents to quickly understand the framework of a book. The more you know about the author's experience and background, the more you can think deeply about some ideas in this book. Step 2: Read through quickly. My habit is usually speed reading. Step 3: When I see an inspiring or wonderful unit, I immediately stop to take notes. I take notes in the following ways: 1. Write a marginal note and write your thoughts directly in the margin of the book. 2. Mark the page number of the main points that inspire you and write it on the title page or the tail page of the book, which will become the index for subsequent summary. 3. Send a Weibo immediately, so that it can be copied and pasted later. 4. Take out a pen or notebook directly and make an excerpt. 5. Draw the logical block diagram of valuable contents in the book by hand.
