I prefer handwriting to using electronic notes. I have no objection to using such a tool.

It's just that I think handwritten illustrations are more efficient, and I can mobilize all my senses to read a book, so my memory is better.

I don't advocate taking photos and scanning to record the contents of books, because it's not memorable, just comforting myself.

Unless you complete the content classification while taking photos and scanning, it is convenient for subsequent retrieval.

For sentimental books, after recording enough material, I will consider taking reading notes.

I don't take reading notes for most books, because there is no need to extract the core of this book in a few words.

My method of taking reading notes is very flexible, such as:

1. Extract the essence paragraph by paragraph directly, and add a particularly touching sentence to the content.

Write a book review on the content and value of the book.

3. Write notes on reading experience. The reading notes I'm talking about here are a little different from book reviews, similar to the homework we did when we were young.

Take out a knowledge point and a thinking frame in the book and practice it repeatedly to see if you can straighten out the author's main ideas, viewpoints, logic and derivation process.

Only in this way can learning be profound and effective, and the knowledge in books can become your own things.
