How do you remember and apply the stuff you read?

If you read, memorize, and simply apply you’re gonna have a hard time with results. This goes for seduction and any other reading material.

When you read, don’t just read for the sake of memorizing and applying. That’s too procedural. When you read, you need to internalize, understand and ask yourself why the author is saying what they’re saying.

Questions I naturally think of when I read anything:

Does it make sense to me? If so, why?

Is what I’m reading consistent with any of my prior understanding of the subject matter?

Are there any common themes in the past few chapters/sections I’ve read?

It all comes down to understanding the reasoning behind general ideas you read about so that you can apply them in your life.

The Dalai Llama says there are 3 levels of learning:

Level 1 is what most people do, that's just listen.

Level 2 is retention, where you get a little further along and can remember something when thinking about.

Level 3 is to make it instinctual, you automatically do it without having to consciously think about it.

You need to start off by actively thinking about something, almost constantly, until what you're doing becomes the level 3 instinctual.

You only retain about 7-10% of anything you read one time. You remember tactics, strategies and advice you read by reading the material over and over again.

I would say once you learn about something, figure out a way to immediately apply it to your life.

I'll also say that when it comes to material on picking up women I probably only retain about 25% (if that) of the material that I consume.

I think the Mark Manson/Todd V approach is the best because it's fairly easy to remember once you learn the fundamentals and it can be applied practically anywhere

Write out 10 of them 'things' now. Here. What 'stuff that you've read' do you want to be able to apply instinctively?
