With the rise of smart devices and various super apps, I believe you must have heard the term “fragmented reading.” Baidu Encyclopedia’s definition of this is to use short and non-continuous time segments for short and small text reading. At the beginning of this trend, everyone was yearning for it, saying that they can use their free time to improve themselves. But over time, people have discovered that this is actually a “shallow reading” that does not bring much improvement. Therefore, you can see that the topic of “fragmented reading” has not been very popular in the past year. So, can we say that fragmented reading is useless? No, it depends on how you read fragmented.

    The current status of fragmented reading Before introducing the method, let’s first briefly understand the current status of fragmented reading and see if it composes your features. 1. Collection = read Many people will have a “collection”. When you see a good article, you will immediately click on the collection. I want to read it later, but most people have never opened it again. Maybe It’s because it’s too long, or it can be because it’s too long. In short, after a period of time, more and more good articles lie in the favorites of each app, but they will only stay there until one day they are emptied by one click. Empty the WeChat collection.

    2. After watching = not watching In addition to the above group of people, there is a group of people who will watch after the collection, but after reading, I have not found a place for the time being, so I continue to put it in the collection Folder, or after reading it without any feeling. Over time, they will forget the specific content of these articles, which may also be outdated and no longer used. Empty the WeChat collection. These 3 useful tools will teach you to

    3 apps to help you quickly record from different angles

    So, what should we do to make fragmented reading effective? In “How to Read a Book Effectively,” the author mentioned that reading should be purposeful, and secondly, you need to know which are the key points, as long as the sentences that are important to you are the key points. So what are the sentences that are important to you? A refreshing point of view, a sentence that inspires your thinking, a sentence that touches you, etc.

    Following this idea, we use fragmented reading. The purpose must be to collect some useful cases or sentences. In addition, new ideas pop up at any time during the process, and they need to be recorded quickly. Moreover, the output is the best input, which means that we must consciously use these collected good sentences in order to successfully internalize.

    So, all we have to do is three things: Collect and classify sentences; Record your thoughts quickly; Use consciously.

    Next, I will introduce you to 3 apps. You can choose one or more according to your needs.

    1. “Marklist”: Collect text by copying and pasting, and categorize by tags

    When we see important sentences, Select it in the pop-up window, select “Share”, click “Marklist”, it will be automatically added to the app.

    Then you just need to go to the app regularly every day, swipe left and click “Favorites” to add to a favorite, so that these important content will be classified. If it is a link, how many words will be reminded when the content is opened and how long it will be read.

    In addition, you want to delete content , You must move into the read first, the advantage of this is to force yourself to organize these content regularly. There is also a regret that if you want to record your thoughts, you can only add it when you move to favorites, which will actually interrupt reading. < / p>

    Finally, Marklist also has statistics. Click “read” in the lower left corner, and then click the data icon in the upper right corner to see your reading statistics. Click the bell icon in the upper right corner again, you can also set a timed reminder to read, including your statistics.

    2. “Tapic”: Collect important text with screenshot tags

    On mobile phones, the fastest way to record is not copy and paste, but “screenshot”.

    “Tapic” can directly import system screenshots, and categorize screenshots according to your needs, but you cannot add notes. Therefore, the best way is to record and classify cases. Emphasizing the need to classify is to allow you to use these cases consciously. After classification, when you have similar needs, you can quickly find them based on tags.

    Taking my own work as an example, I created 5 new tags, namely AppSo, activity screenshot, excellent slogan, data analysis, and activity case. When encountering relevant content, they will take a picture and categorize them regularly at night so that they can be found quickly the next time they are used.

    3. “Snapin”: Use screenshot + voice + OCR + to-do method to improve the efficiency and review of inspiration recording

    Snapin also uses screenshots for quick recording, but it goes a step further.

    After taking a screenshot, you can quickly record your thoughts with voice or text, and then send it to the app. Is there a faster way to record than “Screenshot + Voice”? No!

    Next, you can also set the reminder time by swiping left to remind you to review this screenshot and swipe right to set the category. At this point, you have realized the important first 2 steps of fragmented reading through this app. In step 3, it will also remind you that it depends on your consciousness.

    In addition, there is a little more Surprisingly, the app also integrates OCR, and the recognition accuracy rate is very high. During the subsequent collation process, you can directly extract the important sentences in the screenshot using OCR and set them as notes to help you in the process of searching later Able to quickly find what you need through notes.

    To make fragmented reading effective, you must use it consciously

    The above three apps help you improve the efficiency and practicality of fragmented reading in different ways. As for which one to choose, it depends on your actual needs. Do you want to capture inspiration through text or quickly record through screenshots?

    But I think they just help you complete the first two steps, and the last step is “You must use it consciously.” Because the above methods can be used by note-taking software, but the reason why we do not use note-taking software to accomplish this is to lower your psychological threshold and make it easier and faster to find the content you need in the process of recording and using .

    You can consciously quote classics during the chat, or write articlesIn the process of drawing on content, you can also inspire new ideas in the process of work. Most innovations are done on the basis of predecessors, provided that you consciously use what you have seen.

    Give it a try, so that your fragmented reading can bring you a certain effect.
