Systematic Method to Extract Maximum Value from Books
The video explains a systematic method to extract maximum value from books by treating reading like the digestion of food, breaking down information into six key components. The presenter emphasizes consistent daily reading using specific tools and a clear process to organize and apply knowledge effectively.
Key Lifestyle and Reading Tips
- Use a calendar to schedule daily reading sessions for regularity and discipline.
- Choose books intentionally (selection advice promised in a future video).
- Equip yourself with reading tools:
- A book
- A reliable, non-drying marker (preferably a closing one)
- Transparent bookmarks in five colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue
- A special bag for carrying books on the go (e.g., a Bible carrying bag from Amazon)
Six-Component System to Extract and Organize Information from Books
The presenter compares reading to digestion, breaking down book content into six “nutrients,” each marked with a different color bookmark and placed in specific parts of the book:
-
Proteins (Red bookmarks, bottom of page)
- Life hacks and actionable tools that can be immediately implemented.
- These are the core building blocks of knowledge to apply in real life.
- After reading, transfer these to a task manager (e.g., Trello) for immediate or planned implementation.
-
Carbohydrates (Orange bookmarks, top of page)
- Motivating ideas, surprising facts, and thoughts that require reflection.
- Stored in a digital “for reflection” folder to be pondered during daily walks or dedicated thinking time.
-
Fats (Yellow bookmarks)
- Interesting stories, enjoyable content, and enriching anecdotes that make reading pleasurable.
- These are “tasty” parts that enhance the experience but may not have direct practical use.
- Left in the book unless naturally remembered.
-
Vitamins and Microelements (Green bookmarks)
- Beautiful quotes, jokes, and small details that enrich conversation and erudition.
- Occasionally recalled but generally left in the book.
-
Fiber (Blue bookmarks)
- Facts, statistics, numbers, references, and links that support the book’s narrative.
- Not necessary to memorize; kept in the book for reference.
-
Water (Unmarked parts)
- The base or context in which everything else is embedded; the general flow and filler content.
Post-Reading Routine
- Immediately transfer proteins (red) to a task manager (e.g., Trello) for action.
- Store carbohydrates (orange) in a digital folder for daily reflection during walks (e.g., 15–17 thousand steps in 2+ hours).
- Leave fats, vitamins, and fiber in the book unless naturally remembered.
- Date and sign the book after reading.
- Place the book in a “classics” section for future rereading and deeper assimilation.
Additional Highlights
- The presenter walks daily for 2+ hours, dedicating this time to reflect on ideas (carbohydrates) from books.
- The analogy between food digestion and reading helps prioritize and process information efficiently.
- The method encourages active implementation of useful knowledge, not just passive reading.
- Using a Trello planner or similar tool is essential for managing actionable insights.
Notable Products and Tools
- Non-drying closing markers (preferably yellow but any color works)
- Transparent colored bookmarks (five colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue)
- Special book carrying bag originally designed for Bibles (available on Amazon)
