Always look for the logical flow. For example, when you
pick up a book, first read through the table of contents
to develop an overall sense of structure. Then, take a
few minutes to imagine what will be discussed in each
chapter. As you begin reading, this will help you to see
how each aspect differs from the nextand how all the
material connects together.

figure: Ive forgotten other ideas in the past; Ill
probably forget this, too.

MEMORY DEVICES
Simple awareness of an idea is not enough. To really
own the idea, you have to know it by heart.
Memorization is tremendously powerful. It puts the idea
in your pocket, immediately accessible at your
mental fingertips.
- Put the ideas into a song. The tune will enable you to
remember the series of words.
