Writing summaries is more important than reading more books

from Writing - Andreas Fragner [alt+shift+b] in programming

One thing I’ve learned over time is to read fewer books but to take the time to write summaries for the good ones. The ROI of spending 2h writing a synopsis is much higher than spending those 2h powering through the next book on your list. Reading is not about page count or speed. What matters is how it changes your thinking and what you take away form it. Optimize for comprehension, not volume.
