Fleeting notes
When you quote, don’t read the original, quote from memory, even if it takes many tries. This will edge it in to your memory.
- It is better to actively engage with the material (slowly) then passively quoting.
- When reading you are looking (searching) for insights. Either justify or refutate your previous understanding.
