• SUMMARIZING


  It is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to their bare essentials: the gist, the key ideas, and the main points that are worth noting and remembering.
• Erase things that don't matter


  BASIC RULES:

  A - Delete trivial material that is unnecessary to understanding
• Erase things that repeat


  B - Delete redundant material. In note taking, time and space are precious. If a word or phrase says basically the same thing that you have already written down, then don't write it again
• Trade, general terms for specific names.

  BASIC RULES:

  C - Substitude superordinate terms for lists (e.g., flowers for daisies, tulips or roses) Focus on the big picture. Long, technical lists are hard to remember. If one word give you the meaning, then less is more.
