After reading a book, select the three most important ideas that you get from that book, make sure those three ideas really impacted you. Because of this process of selection and active learning, you will be able to retain the most important information much easily. Have you ever been reading a book, in suddenly an incredible idea pops up in your brain and creativity light up? And you have to put down the book to assimilate those ideas. So why didn't you write that incredible idea down. So make sure you always keep track of those important ideas that really caught your attention.

This is probably one of the most important steps because when you write down the three most important ideas on a book, you can always extract the the essence of that same book in only a few minutes. And if you feel like you forgot the contents of the book, you can always reread The three most important ideas, and you will remember, pretty much all you have to remember about the book along with your favorite ideas, you can always write a specific statistic that really caught your attention of fact, or even a story that was really interesting for you. You can share that with someone to make sure they are also excited to read that book. If you find an idea that could help someone, record it and then send it to them. Most people, including myself in the past, never take the time to set intentions to ask questions, or to capture the most important ideas.

And so after a few days, they can't remember anything that they just read. But when you take the time to go through this process, you will retain a lot more information like you never did before. This transforms the whole reading experience, because it turns something that it was passive to active because you actively try to clarify Your ideas and you seek to learn and apply the main principles in your own life. In some books, I also write other ideas besides the three most important ones, because I like to refer them on my own blog. These three steps, intentions, questions, and most important ideas don't take much time to go through, but they make a very important part of the whole reading experience because they will help you to learn more, retain more and apply more of what you read. For me reading a book doesn't take willpower because it's the habit and I really love it.

But these three steps require commitment, but in the end, I know it will be worth it because I will be making the most out of a book
