Do you take notes when you read?
 

I'm not talking about fiction or reading for enjoyment, I'm talking development books such as: How to Win Friends and Influence People

Do you take notes for later review? Do you create assignments for yourself after reading a chapter?

I usually take notes, sometimes create an assignment or write out how a chapter might apply to myself. Curious what others do.

I would never read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" :)

when reading I don't take notes, but I write down conceptual ideas if they're new to me, or cause me to think about applying something I'm already doing in a different way

alot of what I read doesn't necessarily directly relate to the work I do online, but analyzing and adapting my conceptual thinking has def helped my business. That's the beauty of concepts...they can be extrapolated in so many different ways

when it comes to learning new (to me) facts/info, mostly I just have a shit ton of bookmarks that I reread through when I'm on the streetcar. I can totally see the self-created assignment thing being really helpful, though. I do tend to write out mini-plans for what I'm going to do with new things I learn, which I suppose is a sort of 'assignment'

I am taking notes about this thread.

people say i have a bad influence on their daughters...
