  1. Great system from Jared! 😊 It may help me fine tune my own system. All I'm doing is outlines, just outlines. So: 1. First I read a book's introduction or introductory material. No annotations. Then I read the first chapter. 2. Next I try to (relatively briefly) outline the intro and first chapter as I think the author has organized the chapter. Or sometimes as I think it should be organized if I think it's not as well organized as it could be. 3. I repeat this process of outlines for all the chapters in a book. 4. After I'm done with the book, I do a high level or big picture outline for the entire book. 5. This often includes correcting any previous misunderstandings in my outlines, incorporating new insights that I didn't have prior to reading the book since sometimes one understands things better by the end of a book than when reading along, etc. 6. So, in the end, I've outlined the entire book chapter by chapter (for more detail) and overall (for a broad or big picture). That's it! 7. And that's just me: I think I personally best organize, synthesize, analyze, and recall material in my own mind in outline format. So it works for me, but of course different thing works for different people. 😊
