Read it, Learn it, Analyze it, Apply it

'Have you ever read a great book, loaded with practical advice, yet you never implemented the ideas? I can see you nodding your head. We’ve all been there. We have good intentions, but things get in the way, and time passes, then we forget what we read. More than likely, you didn’t take very good notes while you were reading the book. Or you didn’t write your notes in a notebook that you could easily access. Or you didn’t take any notes, relying on your memory. Studies say it’s important to take notes by hand if you want to understand and remember more of what you read. Anyway, not implementing the great ideas from the books you read, are wasted opportunities to improve your situation, because you didn’t apply the information.'
