My Reading Methodology (I)

Preface:

This article is mainly about the previous reading notes. Some comments asked me to write an article to introduce how to read and make reading notes. I will try my best to complete what I promised, so this article is a summary of personal reading. It’s up to the reader to follow suit. Personal fragments of time: “Puppy money money”, “poor dad and rich dad”, “Redis actual combat”, “Stroll Wall Street”….. I read a lot of books.

A special note: The book experience and 5W1H rules are universal almost everywhere. This article is a personal experience to share.

Article purpose:

1. Promise first. It’s a personal creed.
2. Personal experience and understanding of buying and reading books.
3. Reading is not only an interest, but also a personal hobby, say a personal way of reading and practice
4. Suitable is the best, this article is more experience reference rather than copy
5. If you can’t plan and plan, start acting. Action tends to be rewarded

Mind mapping:

I made a mind map of this article. If you think this article is too much, you can check out the mind map:

Fragments of time

What is fragmentary time?

Before the specific introduction, it is explained that personal reading is more the use of fragmented time to read. I believe that it is most important for workers to make good use of their spare time to read, because it is really difficult to read on Saturday and weekend after a week’s work.

If you are a student in school, there is almost no fragmented time, unless you have a long commute or a part-time job. When it comes to working time, it’s basically subway, bus or road.

1. Time spent commuting to work or traveling long distances
2. Daze time: No matter working or studying, it is impossible for the human brain to preserve 100% concentration. As time goes by, the human brain will unconsciously “daze”.
3. Any small things to spend time on, eating, brushing your teeth, etc
4. Little hours on the road.

How to make good use of fragmented time?

• I bought a Kindle Oassis2 to read e-books on the subway. At the same time, I recommend buying a Kindle to read books. It is very light and convenient. Must have certain economic ability of course.
• On the phone, you can read with wechat, or listen to books with Fandeng reading. Ximalaya is also good, but I haven’t tried it, so I won’t comment
• Reading on the Subway or bus (most common)
• Read previous personal notes (help feedback)

I buy my KINDLE used, and I think it’s OK to buy my e-book used. I’m not afraid of any scam when I meet you. It’s no one’s fault if you’re wrong. Still highly recommend to get an e-reader, can hold the phone without distraction to read a book must be very strong people, anyway, I can’t do it (except reading novels)

Calculation of fragmentation time:

The following content is more ideal, the content and their own life is more compatible. Just a glance.

Commute time: an hour and a half

Shard Time takes an individual’s life as an example

Premise: Cell phone or e-reader.

An individual commute equals about an hour and a half

Apart from the necessary 20 minutes spent on the road, that time is not recommended for reading, but for watching the road and not checking your phone. Take a good walk at this time and pay attention to your walking posture.

Last year, I had an incident that stopped me from using my cell phone on the road. I almost ran into a motorcycle with three gas canisters when I was crossing the road. Since that day, I have rarely taken my cell phone out of the road.

It takes about an hour on the subway. Here, I can read about 10 to 20 pages of books. I can read fast enough to finish half of a very thick book, and I can finish more than half of a strong one. It is not recommended to read blogs or overly professional content on the subway, unless you can record and review immediately after arriving at the company. It is also not recommended to think too deeply on the subway, because it is easy to miss your stop, and it is easy to break your train of thought by changing lines too often.

Recommended commuting time: Listen to books instead of text reading, video tutorials instead of text reading, mind maps instead of text reading

Lunch break: two hours

Individuals typically take 10 to 15 minutes for lunch, while companies take two hours for lunch. You can get a lot done in a fraction of that time.

1. Eat half an hour: because the individual is general oneself cook take rice, go out rarely to eat outside, so the time cost that has a meal is not particularly big
2. Lunch break for about 15 minutes, light sleep can, deep sleep is awakened to affect the afternoon work
3. When others are resting and you are enriching yourself, you will be happy.

Lunch break recommendations: Read a professional book, watch a video tutorial, listen to music, thanks for the article and notes.

After hours: three to four hours

The time here is excluding the time on the road. I need to make good use of my time after work. Here are some things I do:

1. Read something outside your major (half an hour before bed)
2. Read professional books, take notes and categorize them
3. Brush up or do exercises, think and look up information
4. Watch the video tutorials and take notes as you listen
5. Systematic learning, input and output what they learn and think
6. Review and summarize the previous content
7. Set goals, plan, finish and clock in

Saturday and Sunday:

This part changes quite a lot. Sometimes I go out to exercise, sometimes I read books or write articles at home. I have not made specific arrangements, so I will not discuss it here.

• Free to arrange
• exercise
• Write an article
• Take notes
• Watch the video tutorial

Schedule your splinter time

The above calculation is only a rough planning, or suggest readers have their own planning, personal use of APP for time planning, here is not much, otherwise easy to limit the thinking and estimate is not suitable for everyone. The purpose of planning fragmented time is to make yourself clear about what to do at what time. After forming habits over time, you can naturally sum up your own set of experience.

As a free person, I don’t like to make tables or keep track of time, because I find that all the specific plans I once made have been abandoned due to trivial matters. Therefore, as long as I complete what I should do within the time set by myself, I will be considered to have reached the standard. I hope readers do not learn this point, I am a lazy person, lazy people have a lazy way, haha.

Book preparation before reading

Before reading, you must have a book, and at the same time to have a good environment, here is some preparation before reading and some plans to buy books.

Advance preparation:

1. Shove your phone out of sight
2. A comfortable chair, preferably to lie down on
3. A reading rack or anything to hold the book up
4. One book you want to read is enough
5. Ipad or KINDLE (depending on individual)
6. A list of books to buy and a list to read

Personal NICE202d Reading Rack:

Gitee.com/lazyTimes/i…

Personal punch book:

Gitee.com/lazyTimes/i…

Book list:

1. Make a list of all the books you want to read.
2. Suitable price, many comparison.
3. Find the right way to buy books.
4. Whether you really want to see, whether you really can finish

How to buy books?

Before last year I’m resist buying second-hand books about it, but this year has changed, in fact used books for people with books cleanliness is untouchable thing, but I personally preferred books content, nor collect books hobby, so this year in a way to buy books, choose the professional second-hand book institutions to buy books, buy the good summary and then sold back to recycle.

Ways to buy calligraphy:

Now buy a calligraphy has been less, buy a calligraphy is generally their own will keep for a long time interest books, may be their favorite books or some comics.

1. Dog east: dog east buy a book individual is also blunt full minus, not full minus I will not buy, buy before looking for some APP to see the price comparison, the price is right I directly placed an order
2. Dangdang: it is not recommended to buy dangdang, and buy books on the full 100 minus 50, sometimes there is a coupon what can buy
3. Some treasure: some treasure to buy books to buy more is the Taiwan version of the novel, technical books to buy less.

Ways to buy used books:

There are only so many used books you can buy, so it doesn’t matter whether you advertise or not. The personal strategy is to buy used books, record them and then take the time to sell them, a form of recycling.

Around:

Most of the books I turn around are more reliable, and a small part of the time there are missing pages, such as the personal reading notes in the “malicious” this book. Turn around at the same time on the book is more reliable, the current personal book did not find and description of the store discrepancy is very big place.

Idle fish:

Idle fish buy books is basically two kinds, one is second-hand traffickers, but second-hand traffickers most of the books are pirated scanned version, the paper is very poor, after buying once I have not bought second-hand traffickers above the book.

The second is to move with not to go for sale, this situation is still more, this look at the seller’s personal evaluation can be at ease to buy. Sometimes I am lucky enough to buy a book that is almost brand new. For example, I bought a copy of The Construction and Explanation of a Computer Program at a low price last year. (I also have a shelf and books of more than 10 jin.)

A quasi – new book I bought at leisure:

Gitee.com/lazyTimes/i…

To catch fish,

More fish book is very affordable to buy for the first time, for new users of a great discount, but after the second purchase needs more than 80 packages of mail, so more fish is not recommended to buy a small number of books, but recommended to buy a large number of books to buy.

Second-hand books for the book cherish people carefully into.

About borrowing books:

There is a special form of buying books is to borrow books, through the form of borrowing books to promote their reading is also a way, but need to pay attention to the borrowing of books can not be outlined on it, so need to take good care of.

The cost of borrowing books is usually low, and some company or school libraries offer free books, which is good. Suggest borrow a few more and company business fit and professional book, also be helpful to own growth

How to write your reading notes:

Reading notes is the most important is what they learned from what they learned to streamline their content. Finally, put it in your own notes. Then it is to review regularly, constantly summarize and improve.

Think before you read:

Reading is a very expensive thing (time cost), before reading the book must be considered to learn from the contents of the book. Here is my personal opinion on reading.

1. Why should I read this book?
   1. To be recommended
   2. Come across the title
   3. I want to see it
   4. boring
2. What should I learn after reading this book?
   1. Broaden your horizons. This book is so interesting
   2. Surprise, I from the contents of the book to correct the idea of the past
   3. This book is not nutritious, read it less in the future
   4. Chicken soup books, but no practical meaning to the soul
3. Draw a mind map
   1. Composition: The general design of a mind map
   2. What you want to see: Excerpts of the content
   3. Do not imitate, mind mapping is based on personal habits, COPY other people’s mind mapping is not effective (personal experience)
4. Take stage notes
   1. The first stage: excerpts from the book, briefly annotate their own views
   2. Stage 2: Organize your mind map and review it frequently
   3. The third stage: review and summary, refining knowledge points
5. I’ll read this book several times
   1. Read through: read quickly or slowly, carefully or at a glance (personally, read through the book in one go)
   2. Read it at least three times: once for general understanding, twice for reflection, and three times for streamlining.
   3. In the essence is not much, focus on a certain content.
6. How long will it take me to finish this book
   1. Set a long period of time, how many pages per day (very strong execution)
   2. Random reading: have time to read, have fragmented time to read (strong self-discipline)
   3. Shorten the time, set a dead line, read before the dead line time (more accidents, low completion rate, but the most recommended method)
   4. It doesn’t matter when you finish it, as long as you finish it.

How to Read:

Here’s one of my reading notes:

Juejin. Cn/post / 687629…

1. Speed reading: Finish a book in 5 minutes by looking at each page for just one second
2. Read it three times: Each time has a different experience
3. Read how you want to read, free to read
4. Read only 30 minutes at a time and do something else
5. Read a little, not the whole thing
6. plagiarism
7. Read what you see
8. N/Z reading method
9. Find review videos

This book is also very recommended to read a book, a small pocket book, you can pick up at any time to read, very happy

Practice what’s in the book

Reading is for use, of course not all books can be immediately learned to use, but we can try to remember those times can be practiced and write in your reading notes.

Implementing the contents of a book, whether reading or taking notes, can be divided into three categories:

1. Clone: put it bluntly is to feel important point or interested in the place to mark, vary from person to person
2. Deep thinking: This stage shows that you are digesting the book and that you are actually reading it
3. Record and summarize: Evaluate and discuss the author’s points at one point
4. Look at the book as critically as you can. I say as much as possible because no one can be completely objective about anything, and the experience of the writer and the experience of the reader must be completely different.

What does this book bring you?

This is not to take books as an example, but to take a recent comic book, “Attack on the Giant”, which some commentators on the Internet said was another masterpiece besides “The Steel Alchemist”, which contained a passage describing Alan’s views on freedom with the following personal interpretation:

Giant Comics: “Everyone is free, I in order to protect the important things to make my action is my freedom, you stop me to achieve my goal is your freedom, I yearn for the freedom of will hinder your freedom, but your freedom will also hinder the mine, at that time our belief conflict each other, in order to I and your freedom, the only way is to fight”.

Personal point of view: Freedom is a yardstick, and the freedom without limits will eventually evolve into power and autocracy. The higher the freedom, restrictions on freedom for more broad, and we often with our own ideas on the run to control time, in fact this is in order to achieve our own freedom, each people have each person’s life, the freedom of others idea is the will of others, I have nothing to do with, respect other people’s freedom is a very difficult thing.

For example, the rise of Internet violence in recent years, the power of Internet language is very strong, it controls the freedom of others.

Here’s another example: Can you live without your phone? The answer is absolutely not. So mobile phones have essentially limited our “free life”.

Everyone has a different understanding of the same paragraph, so the first thing to determine is your own position, how you think the author wants to express the meaning. If you bring their own things to their thoughts to progress, at the same time let yourself progress in a good way, that is to bring good help to you, otherwise the effect is very small.

Write about your feelings and publish them:

1. Always remember that reading is actually a dialogue with the author, we should not be fooled by the author’s rhetoric, reading must write their own views, whether agree or disagree, active learning and thinking for the absorption and induction of the content of the book is very helpful.
2. In the early years, I did not like to share what I had learned and thought, for fear that others would say it was naive, or criticize or make mistakes. However, after working, I have a thick skin and dare to put down face to do many things
3. Summary and feedback, is the best medicine, you can carry a small notebook, encountered good things or good words directly in the notebook, in fact, is also a good way.

Take notes, the most appropriate is the best:

There are a lot of people on the Internet to introduce their learning methods, such as electronic learning which has been highly praised in recent years. I also use this way at present, but I was also a faithful practitioner of paper-based learning in my early years. As for why, here’s my understanding:

Compare paper and electronic notes:

Here’s a personal comparison between paper and electronic notes. Let’s talk about their strengths and weaknesses and what I did.

Pros and cons of paper notes:

Advantage:

1. One piece of information is understood three times, remembered once by the muscle, remembered once by the brain, and seen once, which is very fast for people who often take paper notes.
2. Reading notes can be taken at any time to turn pages, you can read quickly
3. The biggest advantage of paper notes is that they can be compared and reviewed very quickly

Disadvantage:

1. Carry and store inconvenience, need certain environment
2. Paper notes for a long time pages yellow, blurred fonts and so on
3. Paper notes are slower to record

Pros and cons of electronic notes:

Advantage:

1. Easy to store, can store various apps or web disk, migration is convenient
2. The typing speed is much faster than paper notes, record fast
3. Easy to organize and summarize.

Disadvantage:

1. There is also the problem of losing electronic notes, so it is recommended to make multiple backups
2. Electronic notes are generally stored on third-party platforms and cannot store confidential information
3. Electronic notes cannot be compared and duplicated

Why don’t I use paper notes

1. In the field of work, paper notes are not only inconvenient to carry, and moving costs are high
2. Electronic notes can be better shared while paper notes are more personal
3. Typing was faster than writing, after all
4. It can be difficult for individuals to settle down and write notes in these fast-paced times

A few caveats to e-notes:

• First of all, we need to determine whether we are distracted, like when we want to turn on the computer or phone and want to read a book, we unconsciously talk to other people or do other things
• Do one thing at a time, and do one thing well at a time.
• Write a few notes and stick them in front of you as a repeated warning to practice and finish.
• If you can’t control yourself, it’s best not to buy a variety of electronic tablets, otherwise it’s easy to iQiyi.

How I organize my electronic notes:

1. My notes and essays are based onBy month, has been recorded so farTwo yearsSo I’ve been using this week’s method. It’s very simple. Follow itYear + MonthIn a folder
2. Catalog is very important, first design catalog, design title, and then detailed classification, to facilitate their own review and summary
3. Make multiple backups. Don’t rely entirely on apps or hard drives. Individuals always have a mobile mechanical disk for saving
4. Back up your notes regularly (the disadvantage of not backing up paper notes)

You get better with deliberate practice:

In my opinion, it is better to plan and plan than to act at once. Order a book as soon as you want to read it. Because you made the investment, so

I also recommend the book Deliberate Practice, which boils down to: Set goals, achieve goals practice, feedback, output.

Don’t want to read the recommendation to “Fan deng reading” to see fan deng’s summary. It’s basically like going through a book

Notes make their own characteristics:

This part is more subjective, or recommend some external tools to help.

1. Highlighters: Highlighters are suitable for your own books, and it is recommended to use more colors. The content color can be marked with bold hints. The current format is mostly seen by people who prefer paper notes.
2. Note: you can buy some labels or some labels, directly on the corresponding page number to note, write down their feelings and comments
3. Bookmark: bookmark and the above reading method is consistent, the personal physical books will be equipped with a label, and do the task progress is general, can cultivate a sense of accomplishment

How can I insist on reading?

With external force:

Stay away from your phone:

There are many ways to stay away from the phone, but I found that many friends who do programming do not like to see the computer on the weekend, I prefer to see the computer, including documents and learning are finished by the computer

Make a clock-in sheet:

At present, I have bought a punching book in a group APP to record my progress every day. Of course, my progress is not very good, and I need to be more self-disciplined.

Find TODO software:

Here’s a recommended APP: Time Order, which is great for setting goals and punching in every day, and setting a daily clock to remind you to complete tasks.

There is also a micro channel small program: no potato, very simple, is a card function, for the habit of simple card function is better

Finally, it is recommended to use the APP of pomodoro technique, Tomato TODO, which is very suitable for pomodoro technique and is relatively easy to use.

Take a walk to relax:

When you study a large section of content or are stuck with a difficult problem, it is also necessary to relax a little, because it gives your brain a cache to unlock ideas.

Focus:

We are often distracted by small things, so it is best to find a continuous period of time to read. If you are constantly interrupted, your reading will be inefficient. At the same time, give yourself regular quantitative reading, than a long time to read a book is better, while reading suggested regular rest, help review and summary and thinking.

self-discipline

I taught herself into the programming of the industry, so self-discipline is not easy for me, such thing as a discipline or an action, people don’t like to do too much detailed plan, will only want to do something every day, and to make what kind of effect, at the same time have a clear cognition to their own pace and the control, even if not complete, will face myself, Then look for breakthroughs and change.

In addition, self-discipline is impossible to imitate, everyone’s three views are determined by his environment, so think more about what is suitable for yourself.

Avoid temptation:

Many people think that the reason why other people can stick to one thing for so long is to avoid temptation. Yes, to avoid temptation. I believe that most people who have strong self-control do not resist temptation but avoid temptation, or they really want to change will achieve true self-discipline.

conclusion

This article from buy a book to read, to the last to insist on reading have done some discussion, I hope these views are helpful to you, unconsciously and code a lot of words, do not know how many people can insist on reading, this is a complete summary, the follow-up will continue to review this content to simplify. In addition, the most important thing is not to be afraid of forgetting, but to find ways to retain more knowledge in their minds, to learn things into their own things is the most important. Well, that’s the end of this article, hopefully this article can give the commenters at the beginning of the article a satisfactory reply =v=
