MP3 sounds so convenient. I remember being in college and messing with those mini tapes and tape recorders.
My textbooks often looks like that. But your method sounds more neat and organized. Usually, I'll use a different color highlighter to color different sections or passages on a page. By the time I finish reading that page, almost the entire page is highlighted in different colors.
The only difference is that I tend to use the yellow and orange highlighters, more than I would use pink. I avoid darker colors. But it definitely helps when reading.
Here's some idea of what a page may look like for me:
For textbooks I still use my coloring system:
- Yellow for important passages or words that signify the point of the paragraph
- Orange for definitions, lists of requirements, etc
- Turquoise for people, institutions
- Red for references
- Green for titles, words that show buildup of a paragraph like "first, then, last"
The one color per section is in my written notes, although I'm starting to skip the entire highlighting in textbooks part.
I will, at most, with pencil, circle things or use the morse code dot-dash method. Dot for a point, dash or line for an explanation of said point. I just read it all fast and then reread while I write stuff down, then I throw the book away.
It's gotta move forwards
