Last year, I read 25 books, focusing on enhancing my retention of non-fiction content. To combat memory loss, I began using AI as an active reading partner, transforming my reading experience into a dynamic learning loop. Here’s my effective workflow:
-
Brain Dump: After each chapter, I record my messy thoughts and insights directly into AI, without worrying about clarity.
-
Merge E-Reader Notes: I export highlights from my e-reader and have AI combine them with my brain dump, creating a cohesive book map.
-
Concept Mapping: AI helps connect new concepts to existing knowledge, enhancing retention through “schema integration.”
-
Compression and Personalization: I request actionable frameworks instead of lengthy summaries to streamline my learning.
This approach has significantly improved my ability to retain and apply key ideas from my readings. For feedback, contact eteyeonai@timesofindia.com.
