How can you remember what you read and is there a system to help you concentrate better?

Answer 1

Some people prefer to highlight or underline what they consider to be key words in the sentences they read. For example: "How can you remember what you read? Is there a system to concentrate better?" Other people prefer reading in a very very silent environment so as not to be distracted by noises or disturbed by others. But the silent environment does not guarantee that you will remember what you read. Others prefer reading "pencil in hand". This ususally means that whenever they come across something worth remembering they immediately write it down in a notebook or on a piece of paper. I have tried all methods. So far the best way to remember things is to teach them. Try telling somebody about what you are reading. Unless the information is clear to you, you will not be able to tell anything. Teaching forces you to remember all the necessary details, to give a clear presentation and, consequently, to remember better.
