I'm getting back into the rhythm of reading more consistently. I generally read for about 30-40 minutes in bed right before sleeping on my e-reader, regardless of fiction/non-fiction.
This made me think, for people who prefer physical books, do you underline, highlight, take notes in the margins, etc. when reading theory?
Back when I did have a few physical books I never wrote anything in them, I guess to keep them in "good" condition. Even in school books I only answered exercises in pencil, lol.
So I'm wondering: what approach do you have for reading theory?
- Is it more like reading and absorbing the information more passively, where you read in bed, at a park, while commuting, etc.?
- Or do you treat it more like studying where you're sitting at a desk or at a library, pen in hand with notes and such?
I'd love to hear your thoughts/approaches/advice regarding this.
i usually take notes from the best bits to not forget what i've learned and that's easier to remember the theory
Do you prefer to take the notes digitally or write them down in a notebook?
I'd like to get some inspiration for how to do this without it taking too much time or being too inconvenient. I guess it also depends on whether you write them as you're reading once you're done.
both, depending of the case...sometimes i read and write the best bits in a sheet of paper and then i write my findings in the pc
