This video is on how I remember everything I read. Use these retention hacks to increase your reading comprehension for self-improvement books. Now I’m not talking word for word memorization. That shouldn’t be the goal of reading in the first place. We’re talking about how a system you can use to remember, retain, and organize everything - so worst case scenario you get a 20% bump in retention. Best case scenario what you read directly benefits you so all this education is no longer entertainment.

If you're reading this, I wanted to say THANK YOU. It's been so much fun making videos for you over the past decade. Don't worry, this is not a "i'm going away" post. The opposite, actually! I'm doubling down. The topic of 'burnout' comes up quite a bit with creators, and rightfully so, as youtube can be a high-stakes gig that demands all your creative output. But I'm waking up feeling alive rn! I think we're finally hitting our stride here and I have big plans for future videos for you. That's really it - just wanted to drop you a note and personally thank you for being along on the journey. Ready to change your life? Work directly with me & my team to create the 2.0 you in under 10 weeks. APPLY HERE: www.clarkkegley.com/free-case-study?sl=yt-rememberread

they say muscle memory increases retention so maybe your old school paper and pencil work well for that reason too

@AgataKay Год назад

I listen at 1.7 speed while driving and still feel like I remember a lot! The trick is to tell my husband about what I read when I see him :) He only half-listens but repeating things back to someone makes me remember them more! Super interesting tip with puzzles!

@omarsharif4484 Год назад

Jim kwik has this saying " when you teach someone what you just learned, you learn it twice" it's a phenomenal way to retain information

@michaelmolter8828 Год назад

I totally agree with the photographic memory thing. I listen to a lot of audiobooks while driving. I’ve always noticed a weird connection between a fact I’ve learned from a book and a physical location where I was on my drive while listening to that fact.

@justk80 Год назад

I LOVE this. I am one who struggles retaining what i read which has made reading more of a chore for me and when you're not good at something, you tend not to want to do that thing. I think these are great principals to follow. I'm looking forward to applying these, and hopefully enjoy reading again. Thanks for the tips!!

@twentytwentyeight Год назад

I stumbled across an audiobook for Marcus Aurelius and had trouble staying focused, when I combined reading, active note taking and audible I finally understood how books allow you to have a conversation with the dead. Taps more heavily into our episodic memory 🎉

@HaischkaEST Год назад

I can attend to this. I ready 70 books on my goodreads and still felt similar when speaking/listening to others. I started combining audible and reading... I've found myself speaking and even leading in conversations confidently. I highly recommend doing a mind map for each book. This is where you link 5 ideas to the main topic, then sub ideas to those. Not only is it fun, but it's a creative process and you can create multiple mind maps. One map could be mere chronology while another can be linking ideas with a certain theme. The highest form of thinking is not just knowing the facts, but linking them together via these large themes and ideas. That's what creates genius.

@coltukkor Год назад

That’s how my brain works too. I find if I write down my thoughts or ideas or even as a study habit I tend to remember much better.

@chaoss610 Год назад

I've been listening to and reading books at the same time for years. Not only does it keep my focus better and allows me to retain better, but I also get through books much faster than either one on their own.

@RussellClausse Год назад

I thought I was sick for speed reading through 4 bulky books in a month until i saw those books again in my living room only to realise I forgot every single thing about them! I prefer to read a couple chapters at a time, and then implement them immediately. Rinse and repeat Does wonders

@alphonsusho8962 Год назад

This is why you might hear people say "self-improvement books are useless"... that is, if you don't actually implement what they are telling you to do. A lot of people read self-improvement books and think that they can memorize the info and all of a sudden you'll, change. An example is Atomic Habits. Part of building a new habit and keeping it, is actually writing it down. Write out your schedule and all the habits you do. Then write out the new habits you want as well as the implementation in detail such as what habit and when will you do it. A lot of people will probably skip these steps of writing stuff out, and thus they won't actually fix their not sticking to a new habit/goal.

@keithleonard9341 Год назад

This video was well worth the time. What helps me is to verbalize what I've learned. What helps even more is to share what I've read. But the best device is to teach the material if you can. It clearly reinforces everything that you've learned. Well Done, Clark. Thanks.

Really enjoyed this video. I do a ton of immersive reading with the kindle and audible versions of the book in sync. It adds tremendously to my enjoyment , engagement and retention.

@djscooby76 Год назад

I thought I was the only one who did that get audio books and the book and read along. But the whole dojng puzzles I never thought of that I get fidgety after awhile so I’m glad that’s one way to help. Yes… I bought books and they are still there I’m still currently reading 3 almost done though. I do get burnt out on certain subjects and then come back to it. Thanks Clark!

@jenhop13 Год назад

Clark I have read every single night before sleep since I was a child. I don’t remember any of them. Except a very few. This audible book while reading is amazing. I am so going to do that. I’m also going to do your journal thing so I can remember the book especially the self help ones. This is a helpful video for me. I always put my initials in the book so I know I’ve read it. I write my full name when bought initial when read. My mom does the date thing. Oh I also do say especially for thriller books (my fave) good, great or meh. Love you Clark ❤

@SerpentStar_ Год назад

Love books and audiobooks because I'm sorcerer. Underline sentences that you connect with. Then the book becomes a easy reference. Bob Proctor said when reading, your mind will trail off. Same with hearing someone/something. You hear them but you're not listening. The power of FOCUS will set you free 📚

@jeremyscloset Год назад

@michaelmolter8828 Год назад

My retention approach is just reading volume. I may hear a nonfiction fact from one author and remember it 20%, but if that fact is important, more and more books will mention it again, and in different ways later. I get different shades of context on the fact, and have a much better understanding of it.

@paradox7743 Год назад

Excellent advice- write notes,tear it up, underline,keep a notebook on each chapter. I love reading but one thing I had to adjust is not to read multiple books at one time, especially if the subject matter is heavy and requires your full attention. So I have a workable method where I will read a heavy hitter at a time but have a"fun" book at that same time. In this category I will read about my favorite Musicians or different albums. Those books I will read in a day or 2 while my main book I can take more time to really meditate on the subjects and give myself plenty of time to really understand the concepts involve. The thirst for knowledge and wisdom is vast but it's important to read with purpose and not skim over something you really don't fully retain.

@christiantriana4671 Год назад

So I went and saw one of your videos that caught my eye, and ended up spending a few hours looking at your content, through that sort of Scheherazade "game" where she combined stories and left them open ended connecting them trough different themes and stories, which I though was a nice sort of easter egg of your channel that showed that you really know what you're doing (know your audience and people in general) and it's inspiring to watch your story and how it unfolds through books and stories, consider me a more active follower from now on

When I was a doctoral student I used to read my assignments when I was at the gym. I could remember the text better when I was moving and reading. I took a class on oral communication and the was one of the points that course made about oral cultures. They would sing and/or dance when they told stories to make them more memorable by people hearing the stories for the first time. When I taught English conversation to European kids and I would try to explain a meaning of a word they would start singing an English language song with that word in it that they heard and it clicked for them.
