3 Simple Hacks To Remember Everything You Read | Jim Kwik

how many of you have been the opposite you read something you get to end the page and then you forgot what you just read and you go back and you reread it and you still don't know what you just read right and that's a big problem right because you're wasting dirt the most valuable asset which is your time and the key to reading comprehension is asking more questions if you read a page in a book get to the end and not get anything out of it it's because you're not asking questions because questions are the answer questions are the answer because ask and you shall receive I never just pick up a book and start reading it I never do that I never just listen to a podcast I put myself in a state where I'm gonna be more receptive to it and I'm gonna ask you to take a lot of notes here and I'm gonna give you like a really big download so when you're taking notes I'm actually do something new so I'm gonna ask you to put a line right down the page on the left side you're gonna take notes right you're gonna capture the ideas that I'm sharing with you on the right side you're not gonna take notes you're gonna make notes now so on the left side I'm capturing on the right side I'm creating and what am i creating on the right side I'm writing my impressions of what I'm capturing because if your mind gets distracted which we naturally do I'd rather be distracted and on the right side of the page using my imagination for something that's gonna move me forward and what I'm learning now there are three magical questions you want to ask yourself and capture on the right side of the page I ask myself how can I use this now it's so basic but I like to make the things that are gonna give you the highest return I want to make them as simple as possible so you do it how can I use this and this is your creativity you're listening to me as I speak here and all the other speakers and you're how can I use this because you have a dominant question you ask all the time has been imprinted on you since you're a child and so on the right side I'm thinking about questions like how can I use this and this is like oh there's one way I could use it another way another way the second question I obsess about and I would capture on the right side why must I use this because if there's this it's not a must you're not gonna do it because there you have plenty of other things to do and you know what a question I ask a lot of is like who's counting on me to be to win today you know what I mean first because some of you and I bring this up because some of you really will do more for other people than you will for yourself so knowing that about yourself self-awareness is a superpower and tap into that you don't the change it tap into it who's counting on me to like be at my best and then you'll you're more likely to do it and the reason I know this is because when I was driven so much it was really my family who I wanted to make proud like we all have our reasons right reasons reap results and even remembering people's names if you don't have a reason to remember their name you don't and I bet you the names you remember are people that you have some kind of intention you're attracted to that person they could be good for your business right that something there's some kind of motivation that's there so find your motivation and your reading because if you're not motivated you're not gonna you're not gonna read very well is that fair and the third question I asked but I'm reading something is when will I use this so three questions how can I use this why must I use this when will I use this three powerful questions that lead to something which I think the number one productivity performance tool there is is your calendar because a lot of you say you want to work out or you want to meditate or you want to do with this self-care and you know self love and self care is not selfish and you know all this stuff but but how does your daily calendars reflect that so when I'm taking notes when I'm reading I'm thinking those three questions otherwise you'll just read a page and you're like okay three five pages grade nothing happens nothing's different in the world because of that all you did was invest time and so you're no better off than somebody who's illiterate is that fair like if you're not gonna use what you're good learning you're no better off functionally in your life in terms of results than somebody who can't read at all because the seventh habit of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is what sharpen the saw really good sharpen the saw if you have all this wood you need to cut and we have metaphorical like to do's and everything else but you have a saw with a dull blade it makes no sense to suffer and struggle and stress trying to do that if it's not sharp and that's what people are doing with the reading you're reading probably pages like the probably dozens and dozens ages books a day as it is through Texas through blogs through Instagram descriptions and everything so you're reading you just have to choose and be more selective what you're putting in here information that's good right but sometimes you can listen to podcasts a lot of information but there's no inspiration to use it fair but sometimes you can listen to a speaker or learn something and it's inspiring but you don't know what to do why is that fair so you have information you have inspiration and then you have implementation or you're doing it and I feel like when you get all three eyes together you have the most powerful eye which is integration that's my goal for all of you is that when you read something you listen to something you you know you learn something it becomes part of who you are it's integrated here here and here and then you have an alignment and what you what how it performs is it looks like magic to people so prompting you to with these three questions how can I use this why must I use this when will I use this and then it's your calendar and then it's gonna happen just like that appointment at your doctor's appointment or the meeting with your investor your top client or whatever and you got to treat that time as the most important time because if you can't do it for yourself you're not gonna be able to do it for anybody else [Music] you [Music]
