Tools and Techniques are good, but apart from that I have created some unique abbreviations for me like AOM ( apply on me ) whenever i found line or paragraphs thats need to apply on me, lets see more..

WMR ( Write in morning ritual)

RR ( Re- Read)

DWF ( Discuss with friends)

DW ( discus with Wife)

AOB ( Apply on Business)

UDS ( Use in daily sentence)

all the abbreviations i write on end of the last page, Many hardcover books provide some white Blank page beginning and end of the book, you use as short notes, and when ever you will get 30 minutes you can recall all points, You can also create your abbreviations those who match your life style and see the magic of effective book reading, Thanks a lot Marek!
