2.0
Take notes. Organise them. Highlight and summaries big documents. Search notes and find them when needed.
There I just save you a whole load of time and effort. This book is chapter upon chapter of waffle. It begins with an anecdote/example of someone doing something related to the chapters idea, then tries to link it back to what the author imagines is a completely new and unique concept that he’s letting you in on. Then he gives you some very vague examples and then circles back to his main point.
There’s an irony to this book that he spends a whole chapter telling you how to highlight and summaries a longer body of text - when in fact that’s exactly what this book needs. It feels like he’s done the reverse, taken a small handful of admittedly useful nuggets, then expanded and expanded until he reached a word count.
