How to use sticky notes to improve reading efficiency

Speed reading requires us to skip reading a chapter after reading the table of contents. But if you need a better reading effect, you must do another assignment at the same time. This is to use post-it notes to mark the places you are interested or useful, and to record your thoughts and creativity when reading. This can also be called piling. The function of the post-it note is to indicate where to start, and where it is located is where it needs to be read carefully in the future.

The post-it notes we use for marking can be more convenient if we can give them different meanings in advance. This is similar to using a three-color signature pen to distinguish records, which is clear at a glance.

(1) Red post-it notes: the place the author deliberately emphasizes and is positioned as the part of experience and lessons;

(2) Green Post-it: It is related to or corresponding to your subject, and is an enlightening part that can be used for your related business;

(3) Yellow Post-it Notes: The most worthy reference in the expression of sentences is the brushwork and brushwork that you should learn and adopt when writing articles and speeches.

Give the sticky notes the corresponding meaning in advance, and then mark the books. This is very convenient for re-reading and searching for the required content in the future, which will greatly improve the efficiency of searching for materials. Allows us to reconfirm the meaning of the left mark while carefully reading the key content.

In addition, in the process of carefully reading the key content, we should keep a three-color signature pen on hand. While carefully reading the content before and after the post-it notes, we should write our thoughts and business assumptions directly on the book. The marks made here will become information and clues directly related to the business in the future.

There is one more thing that needs a little attention, and that is to choose non-paper-based sticky notes, because the sticky notes made of film can reveal the text below it. There is no need to open them one by one for confirmation, and this kind of post-it note is stronger than paper and will not break even if it is placed in a bag.

Write it down immediately when you think of it, don't worry about writing it wrong, tear it off and throw it away. A post-it note is really not expensive for two or three cents. In contrast, creativity is more expensive. Because most of the time it is used to organize, remind, and display ideas. At this time, the characters are bigger, which can be easily posted on the wall (or whiteboard) later, and it is clear at a glance.
