Study realization

Ok.

I've been getting better at reading medical books. What's most important that I've learned, though, is HOW to take notes from books.

I tried reading the book first and then writing notes later after I re-read it ("review it"[with Dubin's]) and that was alright.

Next with a much denser book (Robbins pathology) reading it once through and writing notes on it is a pain.

For these types of books (and there are a lot of them), I will write notes as I go along. As I read and finish a paragraph, I will highlight/underline the important aspects of that paragraph and then write notes on it. This way, I don't have to read the book again and I will have a quick review of the text.

This will probably make reading a lot slower, but it will make me pay attention to the text a lot more.

Let's see if this works. I'm sleepy, need to sleep.
