the better we become, the more effective our reading, the more we can read, the more we learn, etc. This also applies to the ability to distinguish key text from non-key text. It helps us improve, thereby making note-taking easier and quicker, increasing the number of learning experiences. Understanding our own words is essential for any writer.The most reliable long-term growth strategy is to seek as many opportunities to learn as possible.

The book offers a simple system to think in to help you develop and formulate your ideas and relieve your mind.The core idea is that extracting highlights when consuming material (books, TV, etc.) is a waste of time - you must manually create notes and write the ideas you get as you read.This book explains the "Zettlekasten" method developed by Niklas Luhmann, a 20th-century Sociologist who published a prodigious amount of work: 70 books and more than 400 articles before his death.It helps crystalise your experience and understanding in the same way that writing does.
