preface
Whenever I pick up a book, I have a habit of forcing myself to read from beginning to end, from front to back.
After buying the book, I can’t wait to finish reading it. But in the end, because of this habit, I rarely finish a book (except novels, of course).
Recently read “efficient reading”, hence this article.
content
There are several stages of reading
1. Don’t be afraid to read.
2. Establish a reading environment in various ways and cultivate interest in reading
Speed reading skills
4. Create your own reading notes
When reading a novel, as long as their own favorite type, no matter how thick, but can read.
It can be seen how important love is. However, for non-fiction, such as literature and history, although it can improve my knowledge, I often can not stick to the end, and few can finish reading. Don’t you like it? Of course not, or I wouldn’t have bought it or set my sights on it.
What makes it difficult for me to finish reading, or put it on the shelf after a few?
Don’t be afraid
In fact, there is no need to read from the beginning to the end, the reader has the right to skip, skim and not read. This will reduce the fear of reading.
Start with a thin book.
Establish reading environment, cultivate reading interest
Build interest: You can build interest by learning about the author’s life story, reading book reviews, listening to the author, interacting with the author (the convenience of the Internet), etc. (Imagine when we’re eating a microblog and always want to learn more behind the scenes)
Create stimulation: Create a reading environment around yourself: create a desk, put the books you want to read in the most prominent place, carry notes with you, make a reading list, rest in the bookstore, etc.
Speed reading skills
I have to say, most books are the same for the most part, and we need to be able to find the dry stuff.
To do this, read the table of contents for key words and make your own assumptions.
And then, with those assumptions, you go and test your hypotheses where they belong. Find out the author and their different places, their own did not think of the place, their own do not understand the place, fuzzy place, do a good mark, read many times.
Create your own reading notes
Write down the thoughts, summaries, etc., that come into your mind while reading. You can circle them, take notes, cut them out, etc., and put them into your own notebook library, either physically or on the Internet (today’s note-taking software or blog is very convenient) for later reference.
conclusion
To master the speed reading skills, the most important thing is to change the psychology, to overcome the fear, to form their own reading habits, hypothesis + verification, absorption of the knowledge, for their own use.
