Reading

Techniques for Intellectual Production

• Some people prefer to read a book all at once because it creates a certain world view.

• On the other hand, some people prefer to read a little bit at a time because it connects to their daily lives.

  • I think (blu3mo) belongs to the latter group.

• It seems that Tadao Umezao marks the parts he wants to remember while reading and then transfers those markings onto cards after a few days.

  • This way, he ends up reading the book twice.
  • It seems that many ideas deepen during the period between readings.

• The cards not only include the points the author wanted to convey, but also thoughts that occurred while reading.

  • It’s important to write down many ideas that were born from deep thinking, even if they are unexpected to the author.
  • This aligns quite well with (blu3mo)‘s way of thinking. I agree.
  • By doing this, reading becomes a creative process.#intellectualproduction

• If you’re using Scrapbox for book notes:

  • Write down your thoughts and what you’ve learned as you read (to capture the emotions of discovery).
  • After finishing the book, review those notes after a few days and add to them.
  • I think this is the right approach. (blu3mo)
