i have to read assigned chapters for my courses. i do the reading, but i feel i'm wasting my time because i'm not absorbing the material. how can i read assigned chapters in the most time effective way while at the same time absorbing the main points? i'm wasting time reading words because i am not getting anything out of it
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
how do you study effectively?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Try taking notes and making a condensed version of what you read.

Bible's point is well taken. Information that flows from your eyes through your hands and onto paper has a better chance of being retained.
I would also recommend using the Internet to search for additional material on the subject you're trying to study.
Maybe there's a Wikipedia article that explains it better or is written in a livelier fashion.

Lesson one: Avoid Sosuave at all costs. I have been writing a paper all day and I should be done by now.
Have you ever heard of something called SQ3R? Scan, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
I believe the way the method goes is first you scan the chapter, read all the captions and what not. That is supposed to help with retaining things. Then while you read the chapter write questions for each paragraph that the specific paragraph answers. Next after your finished reading, recite the main points (doesn't have to be out loud). Then a few days later review by reading over and answering your questions in the margins.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
