If you want to read texts more effectively, you can try to use SQ3R-technique.
The acronym SQ3R stands for the five sequential techniques:
- Survey - you should pick up a shallow overview of the text before reading it
- Question - what are yours study goals?
- Read - take care to understand all the points and take notes in Mind Map format
- Recall - after each section of the text
- Review - as a whole.
SQ3R is a useful technique for extracting the maximum amount of benefit from your reading time.
