ghlight some of the parts that you would like to pay attention to. Having a notebook for a book is ideally the best way to help you remember and retain information. It is not only pen and paper, you can use an application on your phone to take notes like Google Keep to store information. It's always better to take notes than to do nothing.

1) Writing notes in books

it is recommendable to read the same book with friends or with a partner or with a family member or whoever read the same book at the same time finishing it together and discussing the book. Talking and thinking actively is the perfect way to do output. Recognizing some parts of the book that you haven't recognized before, will allow you to have a deeper understanding of the book. You can take a picture of the book and write some of your thoughts or maybe some of the things you would like to remember on an Instagram or Facebook post and just post it.

2) Sharing

After reading a book, write three things: 3 to-do lists from the book and do them for 2 weeks. Give yourself feedback on what went wrong and what went good just give yourself feedback.

3) Taking action

As a student, we should do output before we forget the things we've learned. Reviewing and refreshing information regularly holds the forgetting of info. Although forgetting starts again after each session of reviewing, it is slower than before. Therefore, the more you try to retain information the more you review the more you do output, and it becomes easier for you to retain information. It makes memorization a bit last longer.

How often should we do Output?

Input is basically consuming. Reading books, listening to podcasts, watching tv, scrolling on your Instagram feed. You're introducing new information or old information to your brain. Highly passive in a situation.

Input

Output is basically creating or sharing. When you tell someone the things you've read or make youtube videos. You're actively creating or sharing something. It is active in the situation.

Output

The only way to change your life is by doing output. If you don't take any action from that book, it doesn't mean anything. Nothing changed in your life. And it is impossible to change your life without taking any action. Outputting is taking action.

Doing output is the only way

Writing also helps memorization, researchers suggest a few tips for better learning and remembering:1) Write notes in books2) Sharing3) Taking action

Writing also helps

To maximize your output it is crucial to create an environment that has no limited distractions. To do great output, you need quality input.

Environment matters

In conclusion, to remember everything you've read you must have an open mind and an active body to retain such pieces of information that you read in a book or journal. Taking notes or taking action to share information with other people can actually be helpful for you to remember the ideas that you consume.

Conclusion

However, it should be the exact opposite 30% input: reading books and 70% output: sharing. How many hours can you spend reading for a day and how many hours you can share it with others.

The must ratio

Writing or taking notes is an effective way to do output. Writing helps your memory. When you write with pen and paper, you stimulate your brain's area called Reticular Activating System (RAS), this system filters all information that your brain needs to process and also tells your brain to pay more attention to what you're writing and it also decreases the input overload.

Effective ways to output

Do you have a hard time remembering the chunks of information in the books you've read? I highly suggest for you to understand the concepts of Input and Output.

How to remember everything you read

There's a golden ratio on how much percent you can read or how much percent you can do an effective output. The majority of the people get the ratio wrong. They do 70% input: reading books and 30% output: sharing it, summarizing it, or taking action from the books.
