Here's a problem that I think anyone can relate to who reads a lot; if we are honest you forget the vast majority of the information you spend so much time consuming. You spend 10-20 hours consuming 300-400 pages. How much of it are you actually going to commit to memory, recall when you need it and apply?

I’ve got a cool technology lifehack for this problem that takes advantage of the ‘memory spacing effect’.

Yeah, I clarify in my video that it's best for reviewing books you've already read.

A follow up...

A lot of people do get distracted by the overwhelming amount of information available at our fingertips at any given moment and it prevents them from living happy, productive lives. To combat this I've developed an information consumption regimen that is highly efficient. I present the components and consumption methods of the High Leverage Information Diet.
