Ditch the Highlighter

If you’re the type that reads with a highlighter, using it every few minutes to mark something striking or brilliant before plowing on only to forget it later, try this instead:

As you’re reading, if you come across something that seems significant, close the book and put it down.  Go for a walk and turn the idea over inside your head.  Digest it.  Reframe it.  Absorb it.

Once you’ve explored it thoroughly, then pick the book back up and continue.

Highlight all you want, but slow down and reflect on those gems before moving on.
