The so-called practical reading, in my understanding, is different from empirical reading, and has a clear purpose and plan. There are many reading methods that can be taught, imitated, and emphasized on efficiency, so we must gain something.
The empirical interpretation pointing to randomness is metaphysical. Because of the differences in personal experience (reading experience, life experience, emotional experience, knowledge reserve, etc.). ), there is no right or wrong, it may take a long time to reflect the meaning of reading. It's like bumping into a book in a sea of books, and I don't know what I'll read. There is only one way to pronounce this, which is just the opposite of the reading of Ono Xuanzhi. "Read on" and let this book take you forward.
How to distinguish between these two reading modes is a problem that carrots and vegetables have their own tastes. Different readers will have different views on the same article.
The book How to Read a Book Effectively: Super-practical Note Reading Method, written by a Japanese writer, is an introductory practical reading guide. The reading methods summarized in the book are just similar to the reading habits I have unconsciously developed in recent years. The process of reading this book is also combing your own reading methods.
Keno Kono is a Japanese "note writer" who advocates using notes to manage life and work. Another book published in China is Life Notes: A Lifelong Notebook, which is well known to note controllers.

What this book wants to teach you is not simply memorizing the contents of the endorsement, but transforming the knowledge in the book into "wisdom".
Four main points of practical reading
First, a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Find a recording tool that suits you.
I once came into contact with a Japanese customer. Every time I come to a meeting, I bring an A4 notebook, two mobile phones and a notebook. His briefcase is heavier than the barbell I lifted in the gym, and I have witnessed the charm and … rigor of the islanders. Just like the multifunctional notebook repeatedly mentioned by Ono Xuanzhi in the book, if we write down everything about reading, living and working in the notebook, then we have to carry a brick every day.
Everything will only be kidnapped by notes. Although Japanese notes have some merits, they can take their essence: making good use of tools to liberate the brain. A good tool has several characteristics: easy to use, full of functions, simple to operate and easy to carry. The recording tool I am used to is the combination of physical and electronic: schedule book (weekly diary book)+four-color pen +evernote.
The schedule book records my daily schedule and some small ideas that pop up suddenly, which is almost my graffiti book. What is handy is Moleskine1August diary, and a notebook for half a year as soon as possible. Die-hard fans strongly recommend Evernote, which can list, write essays, make memos, illustrate, record and draw pictures. The mobile terminal is synchronized with the PC terminal to meet all the recording needs mentioned by Ono Xuanzhi in the book.
Second, draw a plan and form your "topic reading list"
"Be curious about everything. But if you don't write it down at any time, it will only be a casual little idea. Instant thinking is like a bubble in boiling water, and it will only appear for a moment. " We should form the habit of taking notes at will and record the books we come across in the simplest way. It's just that I don't agree with Ono's concept that "it's better to list all the information in the book directly than to classify it".
You can change Ono's book list and turn it into your own "subject reading list" Such as taking notes, time management and so on. Focusing on reading books on the same subject for a period of time is helpful to master the information on the subject from multiple angles and more comprehensively. Looking back, every unit of our primary school Chinese textbook is an article on the same theme.
List books on a certain subject in a fixed form of "title, author, publisher and remarks". Considering that most domestic publications have only one edition, the publishing house can omit it. Remarks are usually "purchased, given books, library, kindle" and so on. , indicate the source of the book. Books you have read can be crossed out or marked.
When the reading volume reaches a certain level, there is a standard in mind to judge which products are the best in a certain field. "Good books should be carefully read and studied, and other books should be skimmed."
Third, make a book, "barrage" reading method
In the chapter "Turning the book you have read into spiritual wealth with notes", Kono Xuanzhi mentioned the "onion hot pot style" reading notes, that is, abstracting "the content that is important to you" and commenting on "my feelings about this article". In fact, it is to return to the way of reading when I was a student.
If you can't bear to scribble in the book, just extract it. It takes too much time to extract, so use post-it notes. Capture the god spit that comes out in the process of reading. Form your own random notes for future reference.
Fourth, complete book review and rereading.
"Writing also means sorting out your thoughts." Only by sorting out your feelings and combing out the contents of the book to form a complete and logical book review or reading notes can you "remember" the contents of the book, and "when you explain the contents of the book to others, you will really understand". After rereading your own book review, you can arouse the memory of the book and "add color to your thoughts by rereading".
