Simple tips to help organize the work with the book
Books / / December 19, 2019
We are taught from childhood to careful handling of books: page does not spend too much time on the sheets does not drip, emphasize only in pencil, not to leave anywhere... It was logical: first, the majority of publications were available only in libraries. Secondly, they cost quite expensive, and each deposit home archive becomes a small event. Third, in the Soviet period of the books was generally prohibited and distributed illegally and, therefore, there are a limited number of copies. And if you remember the difficult post-war period, when the books are not enough, and connect it with the principles of the formation of beliefs, it becomes clear that these rules are a little outdated.
I'm going to talk mainly about the printed publications of the genre nonfiction. Many are easier to read and purchase eBooks. From gadgets, everything is clear: singled out, bookmark, copy to file - ready! The work is for obvious algorithm. The main thing - do not be lazy.
So far, scientists have not reached a consensus on the order in which information is absorbed better option: electronic or
printed. We enjoy the rustle of pages and the smell of a new book. It is still man's best friend, and even a mentor, sage counselor. Today there is an opportunity to purchase the most unusual and useful publications and as productively as possible to work with them. This produces a small revolution in the treatment of books.First of all, we must understand that in every, absolutely every book read us have at least one or two wise thoughts. We rarely reread deferred publication on the shelf. This means that the most valuable information gleaned from them, you need some way to allocate, facilitating access to them. We never know if we need to go back to read, but if suddenly it so happens, it would be useful to provide a quick search of what seemed the most valuable.
Several strategies, how to organize work with a book
First, you can create a separate file on your computer or notebook and enter or retyping the most interesting offers. It would be ideal in this case, make a habit to issue citations, indicating the author's name and source number of pages to use in the future as the quote in presentations or just to quickly find it in book. In this case, you have on hand will always be a personal quote pad. If this is your favorite way to compile the knowledge, you can go ahead and make a mini-catalog with subheadings and themes.
Secondly (and this is my favorite way!), You can always dare and begin strike sharply in most book. I learned this from one of my favorite contemporary authors - designer Yana Frank.
When you feel like a true master of the book, you realize that it is possible to do almost everything, this power is intoxicating: you can create Do you see one symbol system to write thoughts in the fields, draw pictures, and to highlight the most valuable marker of the author remarks.
In this case, the process of reading becomes not in the consumption of information, and co-creation! And it's fun. But all of us, which really must admit, we understand that any extra motivation (creation for us, people who seek self-realization - it is an excellent "bun" in favor of reading) in the era of the Internet is of particular value when it is about to turn off the laptop, electronic gadgets and postpone to take up a book, which would be time for a long time read.
A few words about a personal experience. When I sit down to read the book, I put a number of three things: set tekstovydeliteley, pencil and self-adhesive tabs.
I love the book just for the fact that their reading is transformed into my personal creative holiday.
I can argue with the author or to admire his wisdom (as noted in the margin), can digress and draw any character that if he returned to the book instantly recall what sensations caused citation highlighted nearby. I am writing to thank the author at the end and allocate different colors the thoughts that relate to the use of, or interesting, or emotions, or the future, or to experience.
There is another version of the work - synopsis of the book. Many have been taught that in college or institute. And it was rather a forced process. In fact, writing a synopsis develops memory, creates a magical personal conclusions and encourages to read again and again, and someone even write! PhD or own book - it does not matter. Synopsis can be quoted at work, share ideas with home, reread later himself.
And the final option - write they read an essay on. Oh, yes, it is very risky for free and internally guys! For those who are willing to allocate half an hour to an hour to reflect and lay out on paper all that rose and was born while reading the book. And this is the development of not only memory but also speech, thinking, logic, and even self-confidence.
VoltaireReading the first time a good book, we experience the same feeling as when buying a new friend. Re-read the book already read - then again to see an old friend.
I wish you to meet as much as possible and such friends as often as possible to return to them.
