How to Remember What you Read
A commenter asked:
I have quite a few books but have been kinda paralyzed in reading them because I don’t want to read and forget what I’ve read, so I want to take notes, but it takes me forever to finish my books, and I haven’t been able to find a balanced and efficient way to go through them. Could you perhaps share how you read and go through so many books? 😊
You don’t read books to remember everything. (Paul Washer’s story about the bucket)
Take notes and keep your quote document as we discussed in earlier videos in this series
Pray through your reading. God is giving you time to read; He will also be gracious in helping your mind in remembering.
Another thing that really helps me is to have a couple things going at once. One work that is longer and will naturally take me a very long time, and some other work that I will finish in a week or two.
