Having never gone to college and coasting my way through high school I never really learned good study habits, but I'm trying to change that now. I'm currently reading Design Data Intensive Applications and forcing myself to take notes. I have noticed that it helps me retain information much better than just reading, but I feel like I'm extremely inefficient. I am almost rewriting the whole book sentence by sentence as I got through the chapters.
How do you figure out what's "important"? How do you take notes on those important things in a concise manner?
