STOP Reading: Reading Strategies for non-readers
Understand non-fiction better by reading less. These four lessons cover evidence-based study skills such as: Scanning technical reading, creating effective questions, making predictions, and summarising content.
Your current strategy is "memory-feeling-work". You hold it all in your mind, wait until you’re feeling motivated, start working. You might believe that “If I didn’t have X, then I’d be able to do Y." Maybe the problem isn’t your ability to implement this MFW memory-feeling-work strategy. Maybe it’s the strategy itself.
