+**Understand**
+Active reading, highlighting, marginal notes. Split into smaller chunks. Explain to myself.
+
+**Core concepts**
+Identify main idea, extract key points, hide unnecessary details.
+
+**Paraphrasing**
+rewrite in different structure, replace words with synonyms, change the examples, summarize in my own style.
+
+**Practice and iterate**
+One part at a time. Review and revise to make sure it is accurate. Compare with original. Practice, practice, practice!
+
+**How to avoid copying**
+Close source after reading and recall from memory.
+Focus on understanding.
+One small part at a time.
+Asking questions: main point? why is this important? how does this relate to other things i know?
+Try to ELI5 the subject.
+
+**Embrace imperfection**
+Don't try to write the perfect summary. We'll need to find our own way and improve it over time.
