A Safal Niveshak reader (let’s call him Mr. V) recently asked me a question. I am paraphrasing his words for brevity.
Hi Anshul,
In last few years, I have read more than 50 books and 300 blog posts on investing. I am very structured in my reading process. I don’t rush while reading. I diligently take notes. Plus, I record everything I read. Please see the excel that I attached. [He had kept a meticulous record of every book and blog post along with dates and remarks for each]
While I can comfortably recall the contents of a book, it’s not the same with blogs and articles. Looking back I was surprised that I don’t remember the contents of many of the older read blogs. I don’t even faintly remember. Hasn’t all the effort in reading these 300 articles gone waste if I am not able to use such readings when needed?
