The SQ3R method is a five-step reading system—Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review—that helps me understand and remember what I read. I treat this as an informational search.

I highlight a lot. I still forget. Then notes feel like wasted effort. I take notes while reading by using light marks during reading and short summaries after, so I capture key ideas without turning reading into homework. I treat note-taking as a tool, not a goal. The goal is [...]
