Books
I have a passion for reading books, but I often find myself forgetting the details of the previous sentence, chapter, or even entire book. To overcome this challenge, I've discovered a method to read and learn more efficiently and faster.
For each book I read, I create a one-page illustration summarizing its key points. I frequently refer back to these illustrations. Since the brain is naturally inclined to remember images rather than words, this approach aids me in absorbing, retaining, and applying the knowledge from books. I plan to create an illustration for each book I read and share them here so that others can also benefit from them.
