Reading Non-Fiction

How To Read a Non-Fiction Book

Michael Hyatt:

“Use a set of note-taking symbols. I use the same set of symbols I use when taking notes:
  • If an item is particularly important or insightful, I put a star next to it.
  • If an item requires further research or resolution, I put a question mark next to it.
  • If an item requires an action on my part or follow-up, I put a ballot box (open square) next to it. When the item is completed, I check it off.”

I think many of these principles can be transferred to reading material in college.
