Another thing you can try is this: follow the rule that *you don’t know it until you can teach it to someone else.* So if there’s a history book I’m reading that I want to remember, I usually just imagine myself telling someone else about it. I will try and recall everything I can about a chapter and tell someone I know about what I’m reading (or just tell myself about it). Inevitably I’m going to realize that I only have like a 2% outline of the chapter in my head. So I start exercising my memory, trying to fill in the gaps. Then I go back to the book. Now I’m *REALLY* paying attention, and I’m trying to answer my own questions, piece together my little mental outline, and fill in the gaps. Then I can talk a bit more intelligibly about it! Then if I keep the dialogue up either with a friend, in my head (or in front of a mirror), as I go back to the chapter it really becomes familiar territory! And honestly, I haven’t had to write a single thing down. I’m not downplaying writing things down, either. Or highlighting. Those are obviously very useful tools, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.
Strategy by Matt Morris: This is what I've got: 1.-Book 2.-Journal 3.-Pen 4.-Highlighter While reading: -Look for the golden nuggets of information -Highlight the important bits -Rewrite it into your journal -Reread your journal, highlight important bits
For those with problem of wanting to highlighting almost every line! First, read a paragragh > think of lines/ ideas that summarises the para > underline/Highlight it. (i got this by preparing for my IELTS reading) Hope it helps.
Best advice ever heard so far in my life. I do come from nothing and I went to college and still nothing. But, I will keep watering my self till I make it top.
+Vinay Vardhani Highlighting has been proved ineffective in memorising. Best method of remembering what you read is 10 minutes walkabouts every hour of reading.
Some other ideas: 1. I take whatever I highlight as an answer to a question I then come up with, thereby creating a Q&A file. 2. Engaging in discussion groups (on the basis of the Q&A for instance) works wonders. It's the active part of learning, re phrasing, etc. 3. Writing comments and crossing references. To have the books "dialogue"
Hi, sorry I didn't see your comment before. With regard to discussion groups, I was thinking of classmates. Of course, if you read a text on your own, it's more difficult. But you might consider read the same text as a friend and discuss it on the basis of Q&A. With respect to the 3rd point, for instance, in studying the Surangama Sutra, where it says "Since our eye consciousness is not produced and does not perish, how have we lost track of our true nature?" I then quoted another text because I thought it had parallels. For instance, "In The Awakening of Faith in the Mahāyāna, it says 'One Mind and its two aspects: One is the aspect of Mind in terms of the (suchness), and the other is the aspect of Mind in terms of phenomena (birth and death). Each of these two aspects embraces all states of existence.' And then, I wrote my personnal comment: "In the footnotes, it states that the one mind is Buddha-Nature. It is reminiscent of the way Śūraṅgama Sūtra speaks of the true mind as well as the conditioned and the unconditioned, here, in section 5.3, etc. In addition, Lu Guan Yu translates the true mind as the One Mind."
This video answers some of my really interesting questions since I've tested many ways and so I count myself kind of as an experienced person in this regard. In the past, I had problems in studying technical books and I've always improved it so now I was really prepared for watching this video and I confirm that there's a lot of worthwhile tips that Matt is recommending here! Please be careful! Watch this video 10 times if you didn't fully understand his reasoning! Before watching this video, one way I improved my studying was exactly taking notes, but now I see I can still improve it. Because just taking notes becomes a distraction for your mind very soon. You see an awesome tip, and you want to write it down, but that's distracting, also you're worried you might forget it if you go ahead, using Matt's technique however, you can reread the highlighted parts just after you finish a chapter, and then write them in your own words, and then try to make sense out of them. Super useful. Thanks Matt.
Actually did this in preparation for a literature midterm (I read Rousseau's 'Discourse on Inequality' in a week) and it worked like a charm! The reason is because out active short-term memory clutters pretty quickly. But if you hit the text with a goal in mind, keep important notes registered and perform an extra session for compacting those; it's like constantly changing tires on a NASCAR track.
+gbrsc Haven't read that one yet, but is interesting that Derrida pointed out Rosseau as the first thinker to recognize public texts (or in this case "discourses") as supplementary to speech, and that speech is not even the whole shebang, we cannot make conscious the logocentrism of western culture ... because of its own failure in having a metaphysical basis. Just a thought. Looking forward to read more about Rousseau.
I know what you mean. im 100% against highlighting and writing in books. but i do keep a journal to write down the most useful information i come across when i read and its helped me a lot.

Highlight notes from a book. To save time, write those page numbers at the front of the book. This gives you quick references. Write them out, or type them up into a word document booklet format. Print booklet. Now you have a booklet of the book. Go further! Take notes of your notes. Now, you have a booklet of the booklet of the book. This is note taking inception style. Thanks for the video Matt Morris!
The point is, we forget what we've read. That's true. That's why tons of people out there don't change even after they read hundreds of books over the last years. The tips that I should re-rewrite the nuggets of books as well as re-read are nice tips. Thank you! I'll try it right away.
I listened to Peter druckers book managing one self and it talks about finding how you learn the best, most people have to write things down to remember, not everyone but most. I fall in the majority. Watching your video made something click on my head, I absolutely need to take notes from books, this is exactly how I'll retain the nuggets I read. Great video, I subscribed and I can't wait to hear more knowledge bombs you have to offer. bravo 👏
I've been using the same technique..,I read pdf, ebooks from my laptop ,use the highlight tool in Foxit reader,and i use stick pencils rather than pen for notes.(cause my pencil handwriting is better than my pen writing). Also i use good quality big note books rather than used or old diary.The problem is it take huge time to finish a book,and sometimes i mechanically copy the book into my notebook,not processing the material in real time.This technique is highly inefficient,but very effective.Good for academic stuff,bad for tech learning. i usually took ,i month to make it to the end of a book(1500 pj software book). Another technique i used sometimes is real time burning of information.This is efficient.. In this ,we progressively learn stuff,in a short time(it should be short),we learn as we read,not taking any notes on separate notebooks but on the book it self(i call it smart notes),stop and process the info,in short period,.and use the already learned info to dig up more.revise the sections as you need.try to memorize.With some practice you can master this technique. When you get exhausted after burning a section ,take a 1 hr nap,the brain will process the info,in sleep(you even dream the content of the book).In this way by the end of the book you will practically master the book. Its only effective if you read the book in one sitting.problem is you don't get to refer a well documented notebook.good for mass study of programming languages..
Very fruitful advice as you've lots of experiences,I guess, as a result of reading such huge books but have you ever tried reading the Holy Qur'an though?!
waleed alzahrany Why What's in it..Other than some 1000 year old bull shit, That people like you care to follow...I read about it..Its just full of crap..
Paul V Barbar your going to call a 1000 year old story bull because its age..? Science originated along time ago too, does that mean its not true.? And if nothing matters why would science be considered important if all it does is make life easier/longer? Every story has something good in it. If you choose not to get the perspective if thousands of peoples lives then thats on you. You wont be succesful if you demean peoples beliefs that quickly though just saying
Sebby Siena ha ha .. The height of human stupidity.. I call it bull shit,because its bull shit..not because its old.you compare some cult religious scriptures with no basis of what so ever to Science..hmm.....A thousand year old fairy tales,and mind farts,that's it..Muslims are taught from their young age ,to belief this lies..they are not allowed to open their eyes..and see what is going on really...There are other bull shit beliefs too,like bible..But they are not taught to hate and kill like these piece of shit.
I co sign this 100% I have been using this technique for a little over 3 years now and have amassed and retained so much material. I highly recommend you guys use the EVERNOTE app for this purpose. Categorize your notes by topics so it is easier to retrieve for writing, teaching, etc.
I do exactly the same as you do. I have a big journal always with me whenever Im reading. Unfortunately I started reading since last year. But I do feel a great change in me and I keep continuing this practice as my future aim is of become a professional trainer somewhere down the line ..
I dont know how to thank you enough. I just landed on this video 3 months back and it has changed my life. it has given a lot of value to me in terms i cannot express. i came back to Thank Mr. Matt youre doing a fine job and ill always be indebted to you. have a good life god bless.
My mother has been telling me to do this since I was a child, but I really didn't feel like going the extra mile during that time. Now I do and I can understand why 99% won't do it. I'm glad I came across this video because you are proof that you can get more value from writing it down. Thanks for the advice!
Wow! No wonder you don't experience the change you need after reading a book. You have not internalized it enough to stick such that it becomes automatic to practice them. I will have to go a step further than highlighting to taking notes in a journal. Thanks a lot matt.
Great video! Although I don't really highlight the books, I do take notes and highlight them. If you don't want to higlight the book you can include references and quotations in your notes Bonus: You can even include references to other books! A book usually contains references to other books but there is no way to predict how your ideas will form- you can construct your own system of ideas!
The first few seconds of this video where you shared your life's struggle was itself a motivation to what you were about to share. Your guide on reading is excellent, so is your testimony. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been highlighting self development books in my kindle for years. Since I discovered you and this process, I’ve been taking the note taking part of this process incredibly serious. Great video Matt. Thanks for the insight 👍🏻
Thankyou Matt for taking action on the idea to create this video. I have benefited immensely and will be forever grateful to you for this, as now this will be my standard practice. Read, prospect for gold, document, internalise, share. Brilliant! Only the best to you my friend. BC
Hey Matt!! Such an amazing method!! Since you have so many journals, on your new ones you should make an Index in the first few pages and create it as you go and number the pages so you know where to find everything! Blessings
Great info Matt! Been practicing this for years and can attest to its effectiveness. I am experimenting with taking electronic notes with a stylus and a tablet, I can add keywords or tags. If it does t work out, I'll go back to paper journals and perhaps add an Index Journal indexing keywords referencing journals and pages. 👍
Crux :- Jot down golden nuggets in your journal while going through the book to internalize what you have read. This process will help you recollect precisely what you have read and may make your work easier to revise in future. Read the books consistently, following this process to water yourself and come up as the biggest oak tree in the forest.
I unknowingly followed the same process, to counter my low memory power. But, my books are a lot more messier :( I am surprised to find that, this is affective way of reading..!! WOW !
Key Points: I showered naked !? Lol :| 1) Get a journal, pen, sketchpen / highlighter 2) To not, forget the most important point in the book- highlight it, rewrite it in the journal @ 3:24 @ 4:00 - Journals of 10 years !!
I like to keep books tidy. What I do is: - take notes while reading. - reread notes. - listen to the audio version of the book if there is any. - done.
I been following this method for over 3 years. Last month went back to my journal and took few lines to make poster for my kids with motivation lines. I had few family and friends asked me to make same poster for them. It's brilliant idea, works for me.
I do this process even during watching inspiration and motivation speech on RUclips and while reading books and am amazed to know u have recommend samne things
This has been one of the most important videos I have witnessed. Theres a striking ingenuity in your expression. Short, simple and full of punch. Many thanks🙏
I ran across this video by accident and probally one of the best videos I watched.The presentation of concepts brought about in this video are life changing in my opinion. I am so glad I came across this video by accident. My mom always taught me "Son you'll never know what you'll find the haystack."
I'm 18, high school drop out and recently discovered how much more there is to reading a book. I appreciate this video you posted! I don't understand why some one wouldn't want to be the biggest oak tree in the forest.
Just write down whatever WOWs you the most. Any point where you think, that is very true or very knowledable. For example, i LOVE Science, so i read books on science. Whenever i find a scientific fact i highlight it or write it down. Don't make it too complicated, anything you think may be useful, then write it down. Good luck
Deepankar Adhikari With more exposure to words through reading, you'll be able to figure out the correct context in which a word is used - this comes naturally without realising.
heybeh12 Thank you very much. Next time when I read a book, I'll make sure to apply this technique. I'm a non native speaker, who is concerned about improving his English. So far, I have been trying to communicate effectively with people, but many of the time they either don't get my accent or the kind of English I speak. This discourages so much and makes me more scared to even speak with Native speaker. I have developed pretty bad habit of becoming anxious before starting conversation, and this has had led to awful situations. I use vocabulary in an incorrect manner, could you suggest me to use it correctly?
Deepankar Adhikari Don't worry about your accent man. Just speak and articulate your words clearly so that people may understand. I also have a slight accent even though I was born in an English speaking country when you speak your native language fluently especially when that language isn't related with English you natually develop an accent and you'll never lose it. When engaging in a conversation, use words you know WELL; this is important. However, once you're expose to new words and know how to use them in the correct context by all means use them, but do not overdue it. Also keep conversations SIMPLE; this is very important and when you keep it simpe you'll feel more confident and you will enjoy the conversation. Listen a lot to speeches, debates, interviews is also a very good way and finally READ, READ READ, Reading you can never go wrong, especially in your situation read novels where usually novels have variety of characters engaging in conversation, this is will help a lot. Good luck :)
Great advise Matt. I like to do a video review of the book I just read and talk about the key points and how it can relate to my life and the audience, then post them on my RUclips channel. This also helps to motivates me to read consistently every week I find. What are you currently reading?
Modelling is correctly phrased as "Neuro-linguistic programming" (NLP) which is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.
Great Tips! Reading is the best form of learning out there next to watching documentaries. The world is your oyster and you can learn and master any subject you want through reading books and it can be done affordably too by going to the library, thrift stores, or looking for books on sale! I've always taken great notes on the books I read. In my system, I keep in a 3 inch 3-ring binder a running bibliography of the works I've read in separate categories. I use moji notebooks and each book gets its own little notebook where I keep very detailed notes. These are very slim notebooks and don't take up a lot of space and then I file them away on the bottom of my bookshelves in the order of my bibliography and when I need to reference something, I merely look in my bibliography and go to the notebook(s) I need. It takes time to be this organized and detailed but with my writing and researching this system helps so much!
Matt Morris thank you very much on the advice. I have a ton of books all on business and the mind and wanted help on how to keep that knowledge and remember it better. I have also ironically got a ton of note books that I will now use to put this method into practice. I am currently at university and your video has inspired me to be even better. Again thank you.
I love this! I’m a reader. For work most of our directives are PDFs. I read those, my boss is always surprised by how much I know. I think everyone should read for at least 20 minutes a day.
double the speed, it saves time... Nice Video. Bottom line is to Read a Book and Find Powerful Stuff out of it, write it in YOUR PERSONAL Dairy/Journal....
Buma E. yeah.. i can imagine taking very long to finish a book if one takes notes while in their first reading of the book. best to speed read quick once and come back to take notes second time... read the book ' how to read a book' pretty helpful xD
Thanks Matt. I'm putting this strategy in to practice. It works! All I used to do is highlight books and shelve them when done reading them. Writing down those nuggets of gold is a big help.
*Its better if you note down the parts you like, important stuff from the book in your notebook or journal with its page number. *Write down sentences that really represent the idea of that book's topic *Whenever you want something from that book you just have to see your journal. *Reflect on book. Write down your thoughts after reading books. *Read different types and genre. Most importantly enjoy reading books. Stories help better than reading bullet points.
Agree I recommend using ereader with option of side notes. So highlight important sentences then rewrite in side notes your points. This makes me understand and memorize articles I read
Just wondering, when you read, are you doing any speed reading? Or you just read naturally? If so, how long it takes you to read a book like the John Wooden one? And if you do speed reading, maybe another video on how to?
+Raphael Leroux Speed reading goes against the way solid learning works. If slow reading can be considered waste of time, speed reading is essentially how to waste time more fast... . Don't letting ourself to consume time is the first reason people learn really slowy and forget quickly.
When I read a book my phone is always with me. I use notepad and make summary along the reading. every segment or paragraph which I see a value I copy to my notepad (exactly the same process which Matt suggests only with phone). when I get to a new chapter I copy the title and the page number. the third stage is to copy all my notes into a separate word document. (every book has its own document) When I finish the book I now have a quick access to the information I need, not for the next month or a year, but to my whole life . there is so much advantages to this method. to me reading a book is a life investment.
I am kinda LUCKY to watch this amazing video Recently this year(2018) I have been introduced to the amazing benefits of reading books(non-fiction) So I started reading (Mar 2018) and Until Now (July 2018) I've Read 18 books so far *I am glad that I've watched your video this early*
Frankly I have learnt from this video. I made a personal commitment to read at least a book per month as part of my personal development plan and I was thinking of developing a practical strategy that will enable me to get the best out of these books and listening to this today has given me the secret I need. This is quite Powerful!
Its good to know I'm not the only one with a worn out notebook/journal. I write things in different booklets but have a hard time finding things. I should force myself to use Notepad. I label a main subject sometimes to help.

Best advice ever heard so far in my life. I do come from nothing and I went to college and still nothing. But, I will keep watering my self till I make it top.
How's the progress?
the problem is I want to highlight the whole book.....
+Vinay Vardhani There is generally only a few good points in 1 book. The rest of the book is written so that you dont buy a pamphlet.

Also i use good quality big note books rather than used or old diary.The problem is it take huge time to finish a book,and sometimes i mechanically copy the book into my notebook,not processing the material in real time.This technique is highly inefficient,but very effective.Good for academic stuff,bad for tech learning.
i usually took ,i month to make it to the end of a book(1500 pj software book).
Another technique i used sometimes is real time burning of information.This is efficient.. In this ,we progressively learn stuff,in a short time(it should be short),we learn as we read,not taking any notes on separate notebooks but on the book it self(i call it smart notes),stop and process the info,in short period,.and use the already learned info to dig up more.revise the sections as you need.try to memorize.With some practice you can master this technique.
When you get exhausted after burning a section ,take a 1 hr nap,the brain will process the info,in sleep(you even dream the content of the book).In this way by the end of the book you will practically master the book. Its only effective if you read the book in one sitting.problem is you don't get to refer a well documented notebook.good for mass study of programming languages..
Very fruitful advice as you've lots of experiences,I guess, as a result of reading such huge books but have you ever tried reading the Holy Qur'an though?!
Have you ever got time to read some real things like science...
waleed alzahrany
Why What's in it..Other than some 1000 year old bull shit, That people like you care to follow...I read about it..Its just full of crap..
Paul V Barbar your going to call a 1000 year old story bull because its age..? Science originated along time ago too, does that mean its not true.? And if nothing matters why would science be considered important if all it does is make life easier/longer? Every story has something good in it. If you choose not to get the perspective if thousands of peoples lives then thats on you. You wont be succesful if you demean peoples beliefs that quickly though just saying
Sebby Siena
ha ha .. The height of human stupidity..
I call it bull shit,because its bull shit..not because its old.you compare some cult religious scriptures with no basis of what so ever to Science..hmm.....A thousand year old fairy tales,and mind farts,that's it..Muslims are taught from their young age ,to belief this lies..they are not allowed to open their eyes..and see what is going on really...There are other bull shit beliefs too,like bible..But they are not taught to hate and kill like these piece of shit.
I co sign this 100% I have been using this technique for a little over 3 years now and have amassed and retained so much material. I highly recommend you guys use the EVERNOTE app for this purpose. Categorize your notes by topics so it is easier to retrieve for writing, teaching, etc.
You should publish your journals......For concentrated knowledge
+XGO INJECTION it's called Paraphrasing!
ZACHARY SMITH KNAAAWWWLEGGEEE
I do exactly the same as you do. I have a big journal always with me whenever Im reading. Unfortunately I started reading since last year. But I do feel a great change in me and I keep continuing this practice as my future aim is of become a professional trainer somewhere down the line ..
Its 2017 now. I can only imagine what a treasure trove of knowledge he has amassed by now. I am starting this right now.
It's round 3 years since u commented wot did u do?
We're all gonna die cuz of

I dont know how to thank you enough. I just landed on this video 3 months back and it has changed my life.
it has given a lot of value to me in terms i cannot express.
i came back to Thank Mr. Matt youre doing a fine job and ill always be indebted to you.
have a good life god bless.
My mother has been telling me to do this since I was a child, but I really didn't feel like going the extra mile during that time. Now I do and I can understand why 99% won't do it. I'm glad I came across this video because you are proof that you can get more value from writing it down. Thanks for the advice!
TheSelfLearner1 I would definitely say “ Poverty , Riches & Wealth by Kris Vallotton “ and “ The 7 laws of success “ by Herbert W. Armstrong .
"Reading is how you water yourself"
~Matt Morris
Wow! No wonder you don't experience the change you need after reading a book. You have not internalized it enough to stick such that it becomes automatic to practice them. I will have to go a step further than highlighting to taking notes in a journal. Thanks a lot matt.
Great video! Although I don't really highlight the books, I do take notes and highlight them. If you don't want to higlight the book you can include references and quotations in your notes
Bonus: You can even include references to other books! A book usually contains references to other books but there is no way to predict how your ideas will form- you can construct your own system of ideas!
The first few seconds of this video where you shared your life's struggle was itself a motivation to what you were about to share.
Your guide on reading is excellent, so is your testimony. Thank you for sharing.
I used and still use a similar process for writing great poetry. I became a master poet using a similar process for months straight.
I’ve been highlighting self development books in my kindle for years. Since I discovered you and this process, I’ve been taking the note taking part of this process incredibly serious. Great video Matt. Thanks for the insight 👍🏻
Thankyou Matt for taking action on the idea to create this video. I have benefited immensely and will be forever grateful to you for this, as now this will be my standard practice. Read, prospect for gold, document, internalise, share. Brilliant! Only the best to you my friend. BC
9 years after the release of this video, and this video really helped me kickstart my reading journey! Salute 🙏
Same
Hey Matt!! Such an amazing method!! Since you have so many journals, on your new ones you should make an Index in the first few pages and create it as you go and number the pages so you know where to find everything! Blessings
Leather bound journals and rich mahogany bookshelf's. Love it
He must be very important
I have personally been using this same strategy for the last 6 months, and it has honestly changed my life! Thank you Matt!
M a new student .. I wasn't able to read and enjoy reading an english books .. But now I got a perfect way to do it .. Tnx a lot : )
Great info Matt! Been practicing this for years and can attest to its effectiveness.
I am experimenting with taking electronic notes with a stylus and a tablet, I can add keywords or tags.
If it does t work out, I'll go back to paper journals and perhaps add an Index Journal indexing keywords referencing journals and pages.
👍
Crux :-
Jot down golden nuggets in your journal while going through the book to internalize what you have read. This process will help you recollect precisely what you have read and may make your work easier to revise in future. Read the books consistently, following this process to water yourself and come up as the biggest oak tree in the forest.
I use the same strategy of writing and/ I just share it with my siblings immediately after I read!
And it works great.
Compiling all of your journals into a single book is a god sent gift 😍
I unknowingly followed the same process, to counter my low memory power. But, my books are a lot more messier :(
I am surprised to find that, this is affective way of reading..!! WOW !
Hi Joshi, I am also trying to counter my weak memory, thereby
Key Points:
I showered naked !? Lol :|
1) Get a journal, pen, sketchpen / highlighter
2) To not, forget the most important point in the book- highlight it, rewrite it in the journal @ 3:24
@ 4:00 - Journals of 10 years !!
I like to keep books tidy. What I do is:
- take notes while reading.
- reread notes.
- listen to the audio version of the book if there is any.
- done.
I been following this method for over 3 years. Last month went back to my journal and took few lines to make poster for my kids with motivation lines. I had few family and friends asked me to make same poster for them.
It's brilliant idea, works for me.
I do this process even during watching inspiration and motivation speech on RUclips and while reading books and am amazed to know u have recommend samne things
why the fuck you saying the same shit again and again?
You go girl
I am *so* glad to hear that I'm not the only one who does this!
:)
the perfect inspirational video i needed to start off this new year , thank you !
This has been one of the most important videos I have witnessed. Theres a striking ingenuity in your expression. Short, simple and full of punch. Many thanks🙏
I ran across this video by accident and probally one of the best videos I watched.The presentation of concepts brought about in this video are life changing in my opinion. I am so glad I came across this video by accident. My mom always taught me "Son you'll never know what you'll find the haystack."
Matt Morris No problem sir !!!
"I take amazingly serious any time i read a book". Well said.
Love the amazing library at the back
BRIANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN E DE DU?
When i am reading a book I write my note what I have learned from every chapter in my own words. Thank you for teaching us this solid technique.
This is true, I've been doing the same things for the last 3 years. It is a life changing habit.
The bitter truth is that, even if this information is worthwhile, you're going to see an another video for ya satisfaction 😂🤦🏻♂️so do I
Thanks for being truthful.
I have followed the same strategy and have so many note books, I also index my notes so I can find information again without hunting. Great lesson🙏
I'm 18, high school drop out and recently discovered how much more there is to reading a book. I appreciate this video you posted! I don't understand why some one wouldn't want to be the biggest oak tree in the forest.
I follow a similar process but my problem is finding the right things to jot down. I don't always pick up on key points
Just write down whatever WOWs you the most. Any point where you think, that is very true or very knowledable. For example, i LOVE Science, so i read books on science. Whenever i find a scientific fact i highlight it or write it down. Don't make it too complicated, anything you think may be useful, then write it down. Good luck
heybeh12 how do you pickup vocabulary and grasp it?
Deepankar Adhikari
With more exposure to words through reading, you'll be able to figure out the correct context in which a word is used - this comes naturally without realising.
heybeh12 Thank you very much. Next time when I read a book, I'll make sure to apply this technique. I'm a non native speaker, who is concerned about improving his English. So far, I have been trying to communicate effectively with people, but many of the time they either don't get my accent or the kind of English I speak. This discourages so much and makes me more scared to even speak with Native speaker. I have developed pretty bad habit of becoming anxious before starting conversation, and this has had led to awful situations. I use vocabulary in an incorrect manner, could you suggest me to use it correctly?
Deepankar Adhikari
Don't worry about your accent man. Just speak and articulate your words clearly so that people may understand. I also have a slight accent even though I was born in an English speaking country when you speak your native language fluently especially when that language isn't related with English you natually develop an accent and you'll never lose it. When engaging in a conversation, use words you know WELL; this is important. However, once you're expose to new words and know how to use them in the correct context by all means use them, but do not overdue it. Also keep conversations SIMPLE; this is very important and when you keep it simpe you'll feel more confident and you will enjoy the conversation. Listen a lot to speeches, debates, interviews is also a very good way and finally READ, READ READ, Reading you can never go wrong, especially in your situation read novels where usually novels have variety of characters engaging in conversation, this is will help a lot. Good luck :)
Great advise Matt. I like to do a video review of the book I just read and talk about the key points and how it can relate to my life and the audience, then post them on my RUclips channel. This also helps to motivates me to read consistently every week I find. What are you currently reading?
Modelling is correctly phrased as "Neuro-linguistic programming" (NLP) which is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.
Great Tips! Reading is the best form of learning out there next to watching documentaries. The world is your oyster and you can learn and master any subject you want through reading books and it can be done affordably too by going to the library, thrift stores, or looking for books on sale! I've always taken great notes on the books I read. In my system, I keep in a 3 inch 3-ring binder a running bibliography of the works I've read in separate categories. I use moji notebooks and each book gets its own little notebook where I keep very detailed notes. These are very slim notebooks and don't take up a lot of space and then I file them away on the bottom of my bookshelves in the order of my bibliography and when I need to reference something, I merely look in my bibliography and go to the notebook(s) I need. It takes time to be this organized and detailed but with my writing and researching this system helps so much!
Those are nice tips. Thanks.
You are so great .
Matt Morris thank you very much on the advice. I have a ton of books all on business and the mind and wanted help on how to keep that knowledge and remember it better. I have also ironically got a ton of note books that I will now use to put this method into practice. I am currently at university and your video has inspired me to be even better. Again thank you.
I agree on this process!! I always write things in another book...jus to make sure I dnt forget

how long do you take time to done each books ??
I love this! I’m a reader. For work most of our directives are PDFs. I read those, my boss is always surprised by how much I know. I think everyone should read for at least 20 minutes a day.
double the speed, it saves time... Nice Video. Bottom line is to Read a Book and Find Powerful Stuff out of it, write it in YOUR PERSONAL Dairy/Journal....
You and Tao Lopez should start a book club
Do you take your notes during reading or after finishing your book?
Buma E. during
Buma E. good question
Buma E. definitely during
Buma E. yeah.. i can imagine taking very long to finish a book if one takes notes while in their first reading of the book. best to speed read quick once and come back to take notes second time... read the book ' how to read a book' pretty helpful xD
How can you take notes after finishing a book ?
Reading for years have made you a great person and you are amazingly positive, i instantly was connected with you......thanks for inspiring. Namaste!
Thanks Matt. I'm putting this strategy in to practice. It works! All I used to do is highlight books and shelve them when done reading them. Writing down those nuggets of gold is a big help.
sounds like what students do to prepare for exams
yep active recall
I used to keep a notebook with quotes I liked. I am going to try this. I think it's going to help. I love your analogy with the tree. ☺
*Its better if you note down the parts you like, important stuff from the book in your notebook or journal with its page number.
*Write down sentences that really represent the idea of that book's topic
*Whenever you want something from that book you just have to see your journal.
*Reflect on book. Write down your thoughts after reading books.
*Read different types and genre.
Most importantly enjoy reading books. Stories help better than reading bullet points.
This is the #Best process to continue to grow.... I've been doing for years....
God bless you 🙏
Finally some video helped.Thanks @Mat Moriss
this man enjoys himself an "and so"
Greg Hunt LOL
poop that sucker
Greg Hunt... on and on and on....
I started taking reading ALOT more serious a year ago. Thanks for the tip I will definitely apply it to my studies.
Agree
I recommend using ereader with option of side notes. So highlight important sentences then rewrite in side notes your points. This makes me understand and memorize articles I read
Just wondering, when you read, are you doing any speed reading? Or you just read naturally? If so, how long it takes you to read a book like the John Wooden one? And if you do speed reading, maybe another video on how to?
+Raphael Leroux Speed reading goes against the way solid learning works. If slow reading can be considered waste of time, speed reading is essentially how to waste time more fast... . Don't letting ourself to consume time is the first reason people learn really slowy and forget quickly.
SoulGuitarMetal I learned that the hard way 😭.
Congratulations on your superbowl win, I know those rings are hard to get.
+Tommy N yea that is some stupid looking ring.
and the watch is stupid too.
The most realistic approach I have seen in youtube so far. Thank you sir.
When I read a book my phone is always with me. I use notepad and make summary along the reading. every segment or paragraph which I see a value I copy to my notepad (exactly the same process which Matt suggests only with phone). when I get to a new chapter I copy the title and the page number. the third stage is to copy all my notes into a separate word document. (every book has its own document)
When I finish the book I now have a quick access to the information I need, not for the next month or a year, but to my whole life .
there is so much advantages to this method. to me reading a book is a life investment.
I WANTTT KNOWLEDGE !!!!
Yeahh I'm getting it Thx for the Tips
I'll definitely use it
knowledge is like all the flowers of the earth, wisdom the sunshine.

I am kinda LUCKY to watch this amazing video
Recently this year(2018) I have been introduced to the amazing benefits of reading books(non-fiction)
So I started reading (Mar 2018) and Until Now (July 2018) I've Read 18 books so far
*I am glad that I've watched your video this early*
I just bought a journal and was waiting for inspiration on how to use it best and now I know 😀
You what I like more than my Lamborghini?
KNOWLEDGE!
+Runite If you really liked knowledge you'd also use verbs properly man. :P
You *know* what I like more than my Lamborghini?
+GravityGaming don't let me hanging man :(
Tai lopez got a lambo tho?
Frankly I have learnt from this video. I made a personal commitment to read at least a book per month as part of my personal development plan and I was thinking of developing a practical strategy that will enable me to get the best out of these books and listening to this today has given me the secret I need. This is quite Powerful!
Its good to know I'm not the only one with a worn out notebook/journal. I write things in different booklets but have a hard time finding things. I should force myself to use Notepad. I label a main subject sometimes to help.
