Last year, I aimed to read 30 books. But I realized I usually forgot most of the stuff, just remembering some main ideas. Really getting the hang of a topic takes time. So this year, I'll read fewer books but focus more on understanding what I'm reading.

Back when I use to listen to a lot of podcasts, there was a guest sitting in for Tim Ferris on his podcast.

The guy talked about just trying to take away one idea from what you read rather than trying to take a whole bunch of notes you’ll never remember.
