I like to read a lot of books and finish a book within 1-2 weeks depending on reading time which is available to me. I like reading self-help and nutrition related books. After reading every book, I can easily recollect the contents of the book. This would gradually decreases over time and couple of times I had to take up the book again and start reading. I hate to dog-ear pages in my books, hence could not reach to relevant portions easily.
Recently I got introduced to Mind mapping and that has been a good tool to use while reading books. My goal when reading a book is to remember at least 5 essential learning I got from it. I have started creating mindmap for the book. Best practice is to create a mindmap before you begin your reading session. This should be done for content read in previous reading session.
There are couple of softwares also avilable for creating mindmaps but notjhing can beat writing on paper and creating a mindmap by hand.
One tip : Start with a A4 size sheet at least.
Read through wiki page on Mindmap
