I have read over 500+ books since 1992. Unfortunately, my limited ADHD memory means I forget most of it within a week or two!

I did start to keep notes of interest on Word docs for later reference, and I am using these notes as the basis of what I present here.

When I’m reading and come across an inspiring idea or something that I haven’t heard before, or something I want to try, I save it.

That’s all my notes are. I’m not summarizing the book. I’m just saving useful ideas for myself for later recall and use.

I will be adding more book notes as quickly as I can on a variety of subjects from my ADHD perspective.

How do you use the book notes?” courtesy: www.dereksivers.com

1. Save the ideas you find most interesting and worthy of further thought.
2. Re-read those notes occasionally.
3. Reflect on one. Write the idea at the top of a page, then write at least a page of your own thoughts about this idea.
4. Read the book notes that seem to apply to your current situation and might offer a solution to the problem you are experiencing.

My notes don’t replace the book. If you look through a book’s notes, like the ideas and have the time, please read the whole book. It gives you more depth, context and meaning.
