Barbell Method of reading

Reading twice: once speedily and marking passages which need to be processed
Second time to read the important bits carefully and process them to extract important information

This method does not force us to choose between reading fast and reading thoroughly
Helps us spend a lot of time on books that have a lot of usable info
2nd time we read the book we make notes, connect to what we already know, perhaps using the Zettelkasten Method

"If you set up your reading habit, the quality of the books dictate how much time you invest in them. Make good use of your time and digest your information to make it your own. Then you’ll have knowledge.
Don’t practice shallow processing. But process deeply and practice deep thinking.""
