@DrProgNerd 3 года назад

"I don't read fast. Speedreading is bullshit." I was so happy to hear you say that. I reread passages, paragraphs and pages constantly. I don't want to gloss over. The author took the time on each sentence - because they wanted to convey meaning. I don't want to miss out. Ryan, I started reading again because of you. Just want to say thank you.

@soniasoares7768 3 года назад

Finally, I found someone that can validate my thought "speedreading is bullshit" . I sincerely believe that the human brain is not equipped to assimilate and process information at the speed of a machine. The synapses of the human brain depends on other major organs to assimilate knowledge, store and be able to use it favorably.

@weareallonehumanre3920 3 года назад

Exactly. So much patience went into the craft of writing and rewriting to convey information. Absorbing the thoughts of another via symbols should not be taken lightly.

DO AGREE WITH YOU, RYAN INSPIRED ME TO READ

@jonnysusi9783 3 года назад

I couldn´t agree more. Deep reading is far superior to speed reading in virtually every possible way. Sure, it takes a bit longer, but on the other hand you get far superior comprehension and recollection of the material, so it still gives a higher payoff per unit time. Not to mention the far greater pleasure of methodically savouring a book instead of just rushing through it.

@gluteus_maximus3206 3 года назад

I disagree, some books you can read perfectly well with the speed reading techniques. Also a lot of eg self help and psychology books have only a couple of quintessential messages and could have been 4 times shorter. A lot of hard facts are not important for example some historical facts about some people that have influenced the authors... and so on. Another big argument for SR is that many words are just connective words, that are not important for the overall understanding. Just saying something is bs without explaining why is not an argument .

@AmandaJYoungs 2 года назад

"Speedreading is BS" - thank you, Ryan! Thank you! I am already partway to having a Commonplace Book like you do, because I treat non-fiction book as tools, buying them in paperback and marking them up. I buy hardback copies of the rare few that I want to keep because they are or have been life-changing for me. I want a pristine copy too (and these days, also an audiobook copy if the reader is good) in my bookcase in case it ever goes out of print. The best of books can do this over a long enough time. All I have to do now is get the cards and box to keep them in. Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's main adviser and fixer for many years, kept a commonplace book too, including a book called "The King", which was about the King, who must have been a nightmare to work for! I wonder how much that book was responsible for his relative longevity as an adviser, in helping him to pivot and be adaptable to the King's ever-changing moods.

Keeping a commonplace book is absolutely the most useful thing I have ever done. I started just over a year ago-mine is virtual on Evernote, but I do have a system to interact with the book multiple times to remember the info before putting it into the virtual storage. I’m studying Psychology and Philosophy in university, and this practice has absolutely transformed how I research, how I write, and how I think more broadly.

@bookhuggah 7 месяцев назад

You’re in the beginning stages of a wonderful journey of learning how individuals do what they do in a system, and that’s really cool.

Thank you so much for the advice of annotating between the lines while reading. I used to have many fleeting thoughts and sparks of ideas while reading but I lost most of them in a blink of eye. Now I always read with a pencil at hand and turn off my cell phone so I can set myself in a deep thinking process along with the text and in the meantime keep jotting down whatever interesting thought that occurs to me. I finally got to keep them in this way.

I also use 4"x6" notecards but I don't use a common-place book: I use a 'common-place Wall'. I use binder clips to hold 'classes' of notecards together in packets with a cover-title card on top then hang these packets by the arms of the binder clips onto a premeasured grid of thumbtacks on a wall. I suspect this gives me a more 'at-a-glance' reference to my various studies- projects- records-etc.

I really liked this video. Great ideas to apply to my reading and note taking. Also, I totally agree with you on the topic of "speed reading is bullsh...". Reading is supposed to be an activity that one enjoys and savors like a good meal, cigar or a special moment with your woman. You don't want to rush and do it fast in those occasions Many thanks to the creator of this video, keep them coming 😊👍🏾👌🏽💯💯💯

This is really good. I used this system which I used for my fourth book worked very well. I am now using it on my current work.

This is great, very enlightening. I agree with you that doing it manually, eschewing technology is the way to go. Reading, and writing are human, sensual pursuits, using technology takes away from that. Thank you for the great video.

I used to take notes and my envelope is full of thousands of intermediate papers. Now I am going to try this out notecards and a commonplace book because i stopped taking notes for 2 months and just read books and highlight. But now I know how. Thank you so much for this! I don't know why I didn't get your book first when i started making book reading a habit late april and I only got to know you and read your first book (ego is the enemy) Last month. Now i am curious about your other books and robert greene's.

Read yesterday "THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY". I read the whole book word to word in one sitting of 2 hours 15 minutes. Currently working on making book review of the same.📚

I started recording my notes and ideas in OneNote about 8 years ago. I have notebooks for different subjects and projects as well a a notebook for each year I use to manage my to-do list. I LOVE the fact I can keyword search 8 years worth of ideas in just a few clicks. I'm aware of the benefit of writing my content by hand, but the sheer volume of information as well as trying to recall ideas has driven me to a digital format. I'd like to believe my kids will someday read some of what I collected but I think it will just be like China that gets donated...only they will just have to hit the delete key.
