Nice work here. I personally found around 2-3 years of reading non-fiction extremely helpful in my personal growth. An &quot;inflection point&quot; some would say.<p>But in the last year, I&#x27;ve been struggling to pick up as many books. I posit that it might have to do with many of the books feel similar. It&#x27;s almost like once you get the baseline level of information, it&#x27;s more fruitful for you to go out and learn yourself. Or perhaps I just need to expand my mind and find a new set of books.

Reading books is the best habit I&#x27;ve developed since graduating from college. I&#x27;ve used this system to retain more of what I read. It&#x27;s definitely not perfect, but it&#x27;s helped me get a lot more out of my time reading.<p>Curious if others have developed different techniques that have been helpful for retaining and applying knowledge from books. I feel like I can still get a lot better on this front.
