Passages Quote Journal at Mac App Store analyse

Do you highlight your books? Are you a life-long learner? Passages stores your quotes and notes in a searchable app you can store in your pocket. Instead of leafing through piles of books and hundreds of pages, you can find your notes in seconds.. Reading should help you get ahead in your field and in life. Heres the thing: reading something once isnt the same as learning. You read piles of books, and youre still not applying the knowledge. Are you a writer? Writers face a similar problem. You underline clever sentence structures and turns of phrase, but do you ever find them when you need them? Have you ever re-read something and discovered a missed opportunity? One day I needed to get my brakes fixed. When the mechanic gave me his high estimate, did I apply my negotiating skills? Did I flinch at their price? Did I ask for a better deal? No. Even though I had read a book about negotiations, I hadnt internalized the information. Only after I had agreed to their several-hundred dollar estimate did I slap my forehead in frustration. I knew better, but the information wasnt at the top of my mind. Not only had I spent too much on brakes, but I also apparently wasted hours of my time reading about negotiations. THE TRUTH IS... Many people fail to absorb books. They love reading, but they miss critical opportunities to apply what they learn. Even my friends who take extensive book notes didnt read them. Only the most diligent note-takers and reviewers get a good return on the time they spent reading. Thats how I knew that I needed to build something to help readers painlessly get more from their books.

If youre like many readers, you quickly forget what you read and hear. For a few days, you can easily recall the contents of the book and even apply it to your life. Over time, the memory goes into long-term storage. You still have the knowledge, but you have to struggle for it. Sometimes see the same advice over and over. But occasionally we learn something so surprising, so powerful that we know it could change our path. Even so, to internalize it, you must see it multiple times. Just reading or hearing even the best wisdom isnt enough to get better. Learning means doing. Often, the time we get a piece of information isnt the right time to act on it.
