If you don’t make good use of these 8 tools, you can’t be considered a good student!
01 Reading is the fastest, most effective and most affordable way for personal growth. It is more systematic than reading articles on public accounts, more detailed than online micro-courses, and more affordable than offline training. I recommended the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" to my friends in my circle of friends a few days ago, and you will have a deeper understanding of this sentence. We cannot change the starting point of our life, but we can change the end point of our life through reading. We are powerless to change the length of our lives, but we can change the width and depth of our lives through reading. The heroine Liz was born in the slums of New York City, USA. She started to make a living by picking up garbage at the age of 8. Her parents were alcoholics and drug addicts, her mother suffered from visual impairment and schizophrenia, and her mother died of AIDS when she was 15 years old. Liz has lived in shelters, slept in subway stations, and wandered around the city. The suffering in her life seems endless. The old rag-picking neighbor gave her a tattered encyclopedia, which was her childhood playmate. It was precisely because of the foundation laid by her reading habits that Liz completed four years of high school courses in two years starting at the age of 17, won the New York Times first-class scholarship, and finally entered the halls of the highest institution of learning - Harvard. This is a true, hard-working girl's life experience, a life journey of self-improvement and high-spirited struggle, and an inspirational American film. Her deeds are enough to move everyone.  02 I often receive similar questions in my Moments or private messages, "Teacher Datou, do you read paper books or e-books? What is the ratio between them?" "Just read! Read whatever books are available to you, one book at a time!" In recent years, I have developed an interest in reading by mastering the technique of speed reading. For those who like reading, whether it is a paper book or an e-book, they will enjoy playing with it. 03 Today, Datou and his friends will share some fun and practical peripheral software and hardware products that can be used during the reading process, making reading more efficient and fun. 

 Douban I believe everyone is familiar with this product that has feelings and warmth. Every time I go on a business trip, I will arrive 30-60 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, in order to check out the new or classic books on the shelves in the bookstore at the airport or train station. If I am interested in a book, I will take out my mobile phone, point it at the QR code on the back of the book, and use the scan function in the upper right corner of the Douban application homepage to find detailed information about the book on Douban. Click "I want to read" and save it as a reference for the source of books to be read. Or after reading a book, you can check out book reviews, related books, and Douban recommendations through Douban's powerful reading exchange atmosphere and resource recommendation function. This is an effective way to conduct thematic reading and an important method to deepen a certain knowledge system. 

 Trello Trello is a top-notch software in the GTD to-do list. It combines beauty and talent, and can be used in a variety of ways in the book management system. According to the GTD process, the card groups are divided into seven categories, effectively opening up the entire book input and output link.
  • I want to read some miscellaneous books and throw them here
  • Read one book at a time
  • No worries about what book to read next (there are paper or electronic versions available)
  • Subject book list :******
  • A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Take notes after reading.
  • Internalize your own knowledge system
  • Finally I have thoroughly understood a book
 The "Members" function is suitable for the management of online reading communities such as WeChat groups . It uses voting, messaging, and member permission settings to carry out activities where everyone reads a book together. The "Checklist" function provides two ways to play. The first is to combine the table of contents of the book to manage the reading progress of each book in a lean manner. You can plan which chapters to read today. After reading, you can check the box to see the percentage progress and the deletion of the horizontal line. This way you can accumulate a sense of accomplishment. The second is to make a list of themed books or a collection of books by the same author. Currently, I basically read by themes based on the skills I need to focus on cultivating at the moment, and organize the thematic content into Trello based on the relevant books or Douban column recommendations above. 

 Book Notes It is very helpful for two types of friends who like to read paper books. The first type is those who buy or borrow books from the library and don’t have the heart to scribble on the books. The second type is those who can quickly output reading notes and articles after reading the book. The book-marking operation is user-friendly. You can take a photo of the key paragraphs in the book and then use the smudge method to find the summary part, and then add the page number of the book and the experience of the summary part. The notes can be exported to Baidu Cloud Disk and Evernote. 

 Evernote As the best choice for knowledge management cloud note-taking software, there is actually a lot of room for development in reading, such as building a similar reading management system like Trello. I use Evernote mainly in two scenarios for reading. The beautiful book titles I see in bookstores at airports and train stations will be recorded in Evernote at any time, serving as a fermentation pool of inspiration for future writing materials. The content of the reading notes exported to Evernote will be synchronized through the third-party Alternote application, which will further organize the reading notes and output them as articles. Compared with Evernote, Alternote supports markdown language and provides a minimalist writing environment. The output articles can be sent back to Evernote at any time. 

 Read more It creates the most perfect application for reading and ecosystem, and supports cross-platform synchronization, including Apple, Android and even Kindle systems. The reading progress of each device is synchronized in real time, and the excerpted key notes can be exported to Evernote for storage. Just like the book note export function, the wireless book transfer function is convenient. It is also a good idea to read more recommended books and some thematic reading. It is also the main channel for obtaining books to read. Basically, you should read it once a week! 

 Goodreader For book lovers who often read e-books, there are a large number of PDF resources in graphic and text formats on the Internet, and there are also numerous software applications that support taking notes in PDF e-books. When reading books on the big screen of iPad, I recommend the Goodreader app, which allows you to write and draw directly on the PDF electronic book. 

 Kindle peripherals Compared with reading on mobile phones and tablets, Kindle protects eyesight and has zero distractions during long reading sessions, making it more suitable for concentrated reading. If your Kindle is updated with the Duokan system, the method of use is the same as that of Duokan Reader. If it is the native Kindle system, use "My Clippings" to save highlights and annotations, but the generated very simple txt files are not easy to organize. The third-party website Clippings.io (URL: https://www.clippings.io/) can format it reasonably and display it according to relevant categories, making it easy to manage and read. The left column is the classification: including book title, import time and tags. In the upper right corner are the operation items for sorting, filtering, and exporting the clip list. Sort can be sorted by book title, author, or type; Filter supports filtering of bookmarks, annotations, and notes; Export supports Excel, PDF, Txt, or Word document formats, and can also be transferred to Evernote (Chinese version of Impression Notes is not supported) and Kindle. 

 Bookdarts Bookdarts is a stationery product with a metallic texture, used to mark the key points in the book. It is similar to some of the functions of the book-marking app. It is suitable for people who like to read paper books and cannot bear to draw on them, or who are afraid of being distracted while reading and are unwilling to use mobile apps to take notes. It is more stylish than bookmarks and is more suitable for organizing multiple notes. After finishing reading a book, you can mark the location on Bookdarts and then organize and output it using the book notes. The combined effect is particularly good. 

 The method of reading has been changing, but the passion for reading remains the same. In the hot summer, have fun with books!
