@Pamela:
Thanks! As you said, understanding is key. That’s one way to measure the return we get from our time investment.

@Alan:
I agree, I sometimes do it myself. Another reason for me is creating a personal “knowledge base” which I can easily search later.

Based on Pamela’s comment, I think another reason for no.3 would be saving it for later if the brain is not in the condition of reading anymore.

Great tips. I find those tips very effective.
It wouldn’t be wise to spend so much time reading without understanding, especially when the brain is already tired and there is still something left to read.

@Martin:
You’re welcome. ScrapBook is actually my favorite Firefox extension. If I have to choose only one Firefox extension to install, this will be it.

@Spike:
del.icio.us is a great way to organize interesting stuffs we find on the Internet, and I’m a happy user of it. It doesn’t have features like highlighting and adding notes though, so it’s difficult to capture important ideas inside the articles.

If I find something of interest I will bookmark it on del.icio.us for later reading and reference. Scrapbook does sound interesting though. Organize IT
