Determine the urgency of the 
problem. How much will the 
quality of your work increase

it open up new opportunities for

Self-education And How to Organize It. Chapter 3.
Pick a book and skim through 
its contents page or find 
a summary on the Internet.
This will give you a general idea 
of the book’s main themes and 
its practical value. You can also 
read book reviews from experts 
and other readers. 
Ask yourself: “What 
do I already know from the 
table of contents? And what 
new knowledge could I gain 
from this book?”
Start by exploring traditional 
approaches to your skill 
or problem by reading the 
most well-known authors 
in your field. Then explore the 
most recent books that offer 
more modern approaches to the 
issue.
Create a study plan that 
includes the books you have 
selected in order to immerse 
yourself in the topic.
As you’re reading, highlight 
or underline the key words, 
thoughts, and quotes that you 
consider important.
Get a notebook to rewrite 
the main ideas from the text 
in your own words. 
Take notes on each chapter 
as you’re reading and iden-
tify the main ideas, or make 
a general summary of each 
paragraph in the margins.
Make a reference chart 
or bullet plan of everything that 
you have learned.
Write down any questions that 
arise as you read the book. 
If you don’t recognize a word, 
look it up right away and write 
down the definition.
