**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.
