If you want to take great book notes and remember what you read, then I recommend trying out this method. This method centers around creating outlines as if you were going to teach the material to a beginner. I used this when I was teaching undergraduates, but it also works well when I'm taking book notes for my own use.
While filming, I was told that this was very similar to the Feynman method. Here's a video that explains that method: • How to Learn Faster wi... (There are a lot of similarities.)

1. Annotation: Look for jargon, important passages / key points. Unclear points u might need to explain. Do not underline everything. Create your own system ( ex underline for jargon, question mark for difficult parts, star for important passages). Flagging parts of the text for ur future self when u are making high quality notes. 2. Export Phase: Annotations out of book and into paper/notion. Create outline. Create a short summary of the section. Write an outline (not about the structure of the text but how you would go about teaching it to someone else, they could read the outlien and have a good idea. ) 1st draft, doing multiple times to improve it. Repeat for future sections of the book 3. Omni-outline: Bigger outline of the entire book. Guideline to teach a beginner

After a year lost in depression I'm going to finish my bachelors degree (in classics) in the next upcoming months and your videos are sooo helpful - here's why: they are a friendly reminder that studying methods matter *and* the field of philosophy has always interested me. Thereby I'm gaining trust in myself and my academic skills again. Thank you so much, Jared. Your work is really much apprechiated. ❤

@genever_lover 8 ай бұрын
i went through something similar, except i depression paused my studies for two years. it was rough. i felt like nothing mattered anymore, not my studies and not my friends, but eventually what got me out of it was somehow finding the courage, or maybe courage finally found me, and reaching out to people who cared for me and asking them to help me get going again. they can’t pull you out, but they can help you do it yourself. pausing my studies because my depression was too deep helped for a while, but then it was like there was an untraversable gap between me and the world. that was not good and certainly didn’t help. being productive, in whatever way that means to you (for me that was helping my parents and educating my little brother in music) is important - it might even be a lifeline. depression feels endless, but life can still be good, even while you’re in it. if you need time, take time, but don’t let yourself fall into a pit where there’s just you and the darkness left. i hope you have people who will support you. good luck.

One of the best strategies I've used is to read a book , highlight the most important passages and, then, I put the book aside for 3 to 4 weeks. After that, I open the book again and look for the passages I highlighted. If they still catch my attention, I'll extract them. What I like about this 3 to 4 weeks interval is that it allows my mind to see things in a more detached way. For example, when I read sth for the first time, I have this tendency to think almost every phrase is important. However, after a few weeks of not seeing the text, I end up being more rational about what is important or not. So far, doing this has helped me a lot in two ways: (1) it reduces the amount of information I want to learn and memorize and (2) It helps me to become way more critical with the information I want to commit to memory. Once I read that "we only learn in retrospective " and I do believe that 's true. Only when we become detached from sth (through time) is that we can have a better understand of it. Great video!!

Great advice, thanks for the video! I'm a university student, and the way I study for my course is pretty similar. I just have one extra thought to throw out there: When I make my notes, I intend for them to teach myself, meaning that I have this very specific goal of "when I read this a few months later having forgotten everything, I'm able to pick up the chain of thought that allows me to fully understand this concept". This has the same effect of me structuring my notes like I'm teaching it, but the target audience is future me, which also means that I cater specifically to the way I think/understand concepts (which can be different compared to when the target audience is a general beginner in this area). More practically, this means skipping over the parts that I already know (or referencing my previous notes on the topic), and taking extra care when my intuition tells me that I'm not satisfied with one explanation and need more convincing (I study computer science). In other words, a lesson plan for myself!

I agree about teaching it someone else helps your learn. When I was in college I struggled with Physics, however when I started teaching and had to include that subject, the way I studied it (to teach others) helped me to learn it. I would read the text, reference articles and online books for further or different explanations...I would come up with examples relevant to us, and I would work out all practice problems so I knew how to answer questions about them. This makes perfect sense and I am a little upset it didn't occur to me until now. Thank you.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is distinguishing between "Creating an Omni-Outline" and replicating each of the chapter outlines I've done with 'chapter 1', 'chapter 2', etc. at the top. Otherwise, this works well with the workflow I've been building. Reading actively. Taking notes in a notebook, although you're teaching me that I'm taking too many notes. Then transferring that into an organized text editor. I'm using one called Joplin that lets me create different notebooks for different books and search the text of all my notebooks looking for related keywords. This also inspires me to create videos on the books I'm reading as though I'm teaching others.

I actually used this technique to study while in graduate school at night studying operations research. I was also working full time and had a very demanding job so needed to be as efficient as possible when studying. The end product of my study sessions was a set of flash card like "cue" cards which I used to "present" lectures to imaginary students as a review technique. This also allowed me to use SRS techniques to internalize the information. It worked. I ended up with a 4.0 grade average.

P.S. @ 6:00 quick tip for fellow pen and paper friends - a notebook that has good wide margins are great for making revised notes (in a different color). This helps reduce the amount of major rewrites. I don't have a ton of notebook recommendations, but the Maruman Mnemosyne 194 is a good quality Japanese notebook that has ~1in. margin on the left and right . I usually go to Obsidian for the final draft. Works for me, to each their own. Hope this helps!

Very good point! I have heard that the best way to learn something is to teach it. And the student and the teacher can be one and the same person. I heard this years ago. People have to discover and then rediscover quality techniques. As for highlighting, why can't that be part of your "first draft" process? It may, or may not, be useful, but I think some people just like doing it. So maybe putting it in the first drafting steps might give it some (slight) usefulness?

@@_jared thank you for your reply! Yes, it does. But I also thought about mixing them. For example, you finish a deep dive into a book with the teacher-student method and then add a separate section with index cards for the same book. In the future, you could use cards to mix them within the particular book and overall on a theme level. How do you think, would that approach work? And keep everything digital to have easy access anytime. I just want to find a balance between efficiency, material study, and future accessibility :)

I think it depends on what works best for you. I prefer annotating as I read (one of the benefits of this is "talking to"/arguing with the author in the margins), but if you're unsure, I'd recommend: Reading a section before annotating it; then annotating the next section as you read; and finally, deciding which method was the easiest/most fun.

This comes naturally for a lot of people actually. In uni, the best way I found to study was to do the exact same thing: an outline, chapter by chapter covering every single detail. Every topic in a paragraph. Every paragraph in a section etc. Reviewing my own notes everyday until exam day. On the floor, those notes become reminders too. It's very likely I'm not the only one in my class, let alone in the world, to use this method out of necessity (pass our class).

STOP TRASHING BOOKS. Everybody needs to STOP underlining and highlighting in books. A book can be read many times, infinite times. But it only takes one person with a pen underlining or highlighting to trash the book for all future readers. There's nothing more distracting. It would be like if actors shouted every third line they deliver, Or if every third burger you bought was already 2/3's eaten when you unwrap it. STOP IT. Stop trashing books. If that is literally and/or figuratively the ONLY way you can remember what you read then you MUST xerox the necessary pages and do your underlining/highlighting to the xeroxed pages. I don't really care how you remember stuff or what tricks you employ. That's your problem. When you trash a book, you make it everyone's problem. You make it perfect for throwing in a dumpster. There's no justification for treating a book like your single use napkin.

If I plan to read a book once then give it away, like reading a popular fiction book, I don’t write in it. When I plan to study a book like a classic or a nonfiction book, I bought it for me to learn from, and I’m not planning on or concerned about anyone else reading it. If you don’t like books that have been written in, don’t buy them. You can get used books with no marking. It’s not like there’s only one copy in the world.

Maybe one day. Right now 99% of my books are in storage as I prep for a move.

@_jared This video came at the right time for me, I want to start getting more out of my reading I tried to give a block of text to chatgpt and asking it to annotate it Obviously if I do this I wouldn't be learning anything, but philosophy is a subject I like but also I'm "scared" of it, or rather I'm find it difficult to understand would it be useful to use chatgpt as a teacher/companion as I read a philosophy book, or would it mislead me (in your experience) Thanks

I think taking notes is a mistake we learn from school. We dont read to memorize, but instead to transform the way we think.
