I can t remember most of what I read while reading a book, should I slow down my reading?

If you can't remember, you can watch it again.

Many people like to study and like to read, but often because of the slow speed of reading, not only the number of books read is greatly reduced, but even the efficiency of reading is also reduced a lot.

Below, let's analyze the reasons for slow reading speed one by one, and how to deal with them.

When you read a book, you subconsciously want to eat a book thoroughly, so you will read it very carefully word by word. This starting point is good, but we must know that the content of the book is divided into priority and priority, and grasping the key content is the purpose of our reading.

If we try to memorize too much information but don't find the point, we spend a lot of time memorizing things that don't matter, and we end up reading slowly and laboriously, and we end up remembering nothing.

To solve this problem, we need to change our perception and no longer mistakenly believe that reading a book means memorizing everything in the book and even remembering every word.

We read books in order to find out the most wonderful highlights and gain the most helpful content for ourselves, and these are the key points we need to look at carefully.

So, when we read a book, we should spend our time on the cutting edge and remember the main points enough.

Someone gets a book, doesn't care about it, turns the first page and reads it, and then follows the pages, page by page. Reading books in this way is a lack of a systematic approach.

Before reading a book, we need to make preparations, first go through the cover of the book, the content introduction, the author's introduction and the table of contents, understand the summary and framework of the book in advance, and then follow the table of contents to find the content we need to read according to the table of contents.

When we don't understand the background and meaning of what is said in the book, our reading speed will unconsciously slow down or even get stuck here.

Because we don't understand, we can't read it, so how can we talk about fast reading?

Only by finding ways to improve our comprehension skills and easily understand the meaning of the book can we read fluently and quickly.

So, how do we improve our comprehension? That is, we can pick out what we don't understand, ask the book expert or anyone else who has read the book, and listen to their opinions. In this way, you will not be delayed in reading your own time, but you can also learn from the experience of others and help you improve your understanding.

What should I do if I often can't remember what I read? Don't get too anxious about it, here are a few tips you can try to help you memorize it.

01.Comprehension in the process of readingWhen you are reading, it is like opening the door to a new world, and behind the door is all the unknown. If you open the door and touch these unknowns, you may be dazzled by these things all at once, and it will be difficult to remember them for a while.

At this time, we take a small trick - understanding to help us remember. No matter what you do, everyone has their own different opinion of the matter, just as there are a thousand Hamlets for the same thousand people. We can learn from other people's methods of understanding, but we can't copy them exactly the same, and it is more appropriate to adapt them according to our own methods.

Proper understanding will help us know more quickly what the book is about, and we can understand it in the way we are accustomed to, so as to avoid mixing up the contents of the book with the Gideon.

02.Take notes in the process of readingAs the saying goes, a good memory is better than a bad pen. This sentence is to say that no matter how good the memory is, there will be a day when it will be forgotten, it is better to write down the things you want to remember Yu Feng grinding down on paper, and you can read it later.

Reading naturally applies to this principle as well. After we finish reading a book, we may put it aside and wait until the year of the monkey to read it again, or we may not even read it again.

In the process of reading the book, you are touched by the beautiful and moving sentences in the book, then you can record these contents in a notebook, and you can also write about your inner feelings when you read this sentence. In this way, when you don't remember the contents of a book, you can also help yourself recall the contents of the book by looking through the notes you have written. Vertical bucket.

In summary, it doesn't matter if you can't remember what you read, we can make appropriate understanding, or take notes to help us remember it.

Some books are meant to be read slowly and tasted slowly.

Aside from that, if you confirm that you need to finish a book in a relatively short period of time, first have a clear understanding of what you want from the book, and then sort out what the book is about and the general structure (see the preface, examples, and table of contents). Just like when you go to the supermarket to buy something, most of the time you know what you want to buy before you go, then after entering the supermarket, you will first look at what you want is about **, and then you will have a purpose and high efficiency when you go shopping. After buying what you need, if you still have time, you can see what other good things are discounted or done today.

Of course, sometimes "knowing what you want" and "figuring out the content and structure of the book" are reversed, because some books only understand what you might want from them until you have a general idea of what you might want from them.

But no matter what the order, you only need to spend a few minutes figuring out these two things, and your reading speed will definitely improve, and your reading ideas will become clearer and clearer

Looking at Robinson directly, I used to read books very slowly like you, and after reading Robinson, I have improved a lot. And it's good to develop your love of reading.

Skim, read more, and it will be fine. Hope you improve.
