What are some of your hacks to retain more information from a book you're reading?

I've started underlining important sentences and plan on skimming the book after I finish it to reread those.

I’m going to copy this - great idea

For me currently, I spend about 5 min thinking through how I could have applied a lesson/approach to something else I already did that day. Or consciously think through how I am apply it to the rest of my day. Helps me implant the info

That's a good approach too, though it's more short-term. Underlining has the benefit that you can come back to it months or even years later and refresh the info really fast.

So true! Part of my decision to copy you😂
