Similar ideas to 5. Practice Active Recall
After you’ve completed a chapter, write bullet points on what you want to take away from it.
It will give you a concise list of bullet points per chapter, without interrupting the flow of reading and without you having to write stuff you don’t care about.
Just forming chunks is not sufficient. You have to maintain them. The more you look after the chunks, the longer they last.
While reviewing material, recall it instead of just reading it passively. Try and recall in a different setting than where you studied it.
