Engage Intentionally to Enhance Learning

Taking intentional notes while reading enhances engagement with the material and serves as a valuable reference. Notes should be structured in a way that promotes active interaction, such as creating mind maps, which act as modern interpretations of classic reading strategies. The process of manually transferring and breaking down notes into separate, atomic ideas fosters deeper understanding and retention. Establishing a reading habit by selecting books that address specific problems can also improve focus and motivation during the reading experience.
