Step 1: Read and understand a book quickly.

After opening a book, read the table of contents first to get an overall understanding of the book. When reading formally, use the table of contents to read quickly.

I suggest that your reading speed should be at least doubled. After scanning a book at least twice the speed, you can find the places you are interested in, the places that are important to you, and the places you don't understand. Then you can read at a slower speed. For the essence of second reading, you can read it again. (Many people think it may be more troublesome and time-consuming, but it is not. It will take no more time than you spend reading slowly, and it has many advantages: for example, it will make you feel curious and problematic, make reading less boring, make reading more targeted and targeted, and deepen your understanding and impression. )

When I read it once, I usually do it at a speed of about 3000 words per minute (if it is an ordinary book, I will not read it once). When you meet what you want or don't know, your speech speed will be slower, and then it will be slower in the second intensive reading. I've been trying to use it and found this method is very good. If your reading efficiency is low, I suggest you learn to read quickly (refer to elite fast reading). The reading speed of two or three thousand words per minute is still easy to master.

The second step is to sort out the context of articles and books and build a mind map.

To sort out the context and main contents of books, the way to get started is to consult the catalogue. A table of contents is the basic logic of a book, that is, an outline. If you can't sort it out, refer to the author's catalogue. All you need to do is polish and add or delete directories (add what is important to you, delete or skim what is not important).

A better way is to organize yourself. After all, the chapter catalogue is the logical content that the author wants to express, and you should have your own thinking logic. That is, after reading, understanding and thinking, the content is split and reorganized according to your own actual understanding, and a logical structure suitable for you is sorted out.

Of course, for different content themes, different methods can be adopted, such as "taking time as the main line, people as the main line and events as the main line" to sort out. The key is to make yourself clear at a glance, which is helpful for understanding, remembering and thinking.

Sort out the main thread and vein, have the basic structure, know what the main points are, and you can draw a mind map according to your own structure (of course, you can also make it with tools, but most of the time it is better to draw it by hand, which is flexible and convenient, and also helps to clear your mind and impress you).

The third step is to extract or simplify keywords or short sentences from articles and books.

Keyword extraction can be done during reading or after reading. I usually do this when reading. In the process of fast reading, I will sketch out the key words or write down the words that come to mind when reading. No, I'm not entangled. I'll watch it two or three times before I speak.

Several skills of identifying, selecting and refining keywords: ① Points are keywords used in titles, beginnings and other places, which are generally general and targeted; Lines are the key words in paragraphs and processes, which are generally words of process, action, trend and reasoning; (3) Face is the key word in paragraph cohesion, which is generally time word, place word, sequence word and judgment word; ④ Style refers to the overall, comprehensive and systematic keywords of the article, which are generally inductive and general words.

In addition, you can also use the method of "writing questions" to refine keywords. For example, after reading a paragraph, ask yourself what it said and answer it with a word or a short sentence. This answer is the key word you want. (For different content forms, you can ask yourself in different ways. )

If you want to exercise the ability to extract keywords, you can refer to "Jingying Fast Reading and Memory Training Software". The fast reading method in the software is very helpful for you to quickly grasp the main points and key points in articles and books. Among them, the training of mind map will teach you how to grab keywords, and give examples and references.

The fourth step is to expand the memory with keywords and mark the corresponding position of the content.

After extracting keywords, fill in your mind map.

In order to better recall the content in the future, it is suggested that you put the keywords corresponding to the location of the content in the book, and mark or make comments next to the keywords. For example, the page number in the book (denoted by P), if you do not make animation by hand, but by tools, then you can mark the content directly (if you organize the content).
