How do you study theory? - eviltoast

I’ve read my fair share of theory but it has been a while since I list reas a piece. I think the last actual theory I read was The Jakarta Method somewhere in may. Since I’ve been giving some more important tasks by the party now, I figured I might start reading the theory list again.

I wondered if the grad had any tips for reading theory. Do you write things down? Take notes? Save important paragraphs? Etc.

    I write vague short notes in a tiny notebook as I read a physical copy of the book. I used to listen to audiobooks while reading but I found that it speeds me through the book, not giving time to reflect or reread sentences. And if I listen to the audiobook alone I start to drift off and miss a few sentences here and there.

    • Audio book + reading same text seems genius to me, I’m going to have to try this myself. Seems easy enough to just pause audio when struck by a rough patch of theory to reread a couple times but definitely have to try this myself.
