Do you have a hard time remembering what you read? I have this trouble all the time — I read a super interesting nonfiction book, but when it’s time to tell a friend about it, I can’t remember a single interesting fact!
Today I want to share a way I have of taking notes that allows me to capture the most important points from the non fiction books that I read. See: it’s not just students that study skills are good for! 🙂
Check out this video in which I walk you through the “book charting” process that I learned from my mom back in the day.
In today’s video I show you how to set up the process, and in the next two videos I’ll show you how I fill it out. So tune in the next couple of weeks to get more information!
Hi Gretchen, this looks awesome. I’m 37 and have just started a part-time course that I really care about. I also have massive problems remembering what I read, but am very visual, so think this will work well for me. Do you have a template for book chart that I could copy, paste and fill in? I feel I’m wasting time trying to set up the Google Sheet that I could be spending reading. No idea how to merge columns and format the text like you have! I’d happily pay for this! <3
