Do you EVER Think You don't know how to.... (1 Viewer)

Properly annotate and highlight important information in textbooks?
I feel like I go overboard anytime I highlight things because I think everything is important.

For example:

I'm not even done reading this paragraph yet but dang I feel like I am doing too much.
Do any of you have a rule of thumb for how you highlight or decide whats important?​

Yes I did - never created any rules though. I used to underline what seemed important then highlight what was more important. Which still ended up being everything anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

this was always a struggle for me in college, I would highlight way too many things and then regret it and stop highlighting everything and missing actual important stuff.

yeah cause i thought i was highlighting too much and when i highlighted paragraphs my mind told me that there had to be a perfect balance between highlighted words and not highlighted words

Learning to take notes like this changed my life. It's fast, it shows how the ideas are connected and extremely simple. It also visually helps your mind trace the memory pathways.
