Robert brings up how bored the audience might be but I'm not sure how aware he is that so many are interested in his various techniques involving literature and writing!

[@Coolboy_88]

So true I want to go deep and look with my eyes that how he make those notes

[@cosmobiologist]

Fantastical! I've tried so many note keeping styles and nothing has really stuck with me. I use digital tools for a lot of tracking of articles and such that I've read, but I often feel like I need a better physical note system for my own writing. I've recently have been rethinking these methods from Greene, Holiday, and others for keeping notes from reading (especially from books) to build a physical knowledge system. Seems like it's worth a try!

good advice for any creators! currently reading his book "the daily laws" and I find it so dense, clear, inspiring, so well adjusted to the reading habits of our times... great job!

[@diegolikescode]

Man, that was a very very good question, and the answer is just what I was looking for! Thanks man

[@raginald7mars408]

... as a German Biologist - this is the Focus on the intense Study of the highest Interest then it is “natural” when you force yourself you forget even the “good” stuff

OMG this is so helpful. I’m writing my 2nd book right now. I have all my cards on sticky notes on the wall. I do think I’m going to put them into Obsidian or something similar. Even though I’m 54 I’m a tech nerd. And my wall looks messy with sticky notes all over it lol. Thank you thank you thank you

8:51 treat the themes like ingredients to a good dish, and you are the chef who adds peferct amount

[@island661]

Thank you

[@ramachandrankk7481]

Robert Greenes matery is EXCELLENT

[@Pcoxproductions]

8:15 themes are the principles that preceeded books and hope from author to author.

[@mamb_]

Highly interesting the topic about how he writes and think while reading, I would love to have the list of Robert Greene’s good books.

[@Vyborne]

@mamb_I think I've seen KZbin tiles for his recommendations. This may have occurred since you wrote your comment a year ago; search for it.

[@Pcoxproductions]

11:16 the themes are from the authors before and the energy and connections between are yours to excit the audience in a new light

[@jaabirana]

My teacher used to say, the hand learns before the brain 🧠 !

[@Pcoxproductions]

3:57 themes emarge, and those are structured into stories which are fleshed out ideas that rise and fall

[@pppinto97]

Shane, what's the LOGISTICAL difference between video and audio-video podcast? Bcoz somehow seeing someone talk seems like a different experience than just hearing them

[@jamesehoey]

Its so much better doing these notes by hand. You value the notes far more, a bit like the difference between having an album on record versus spotify

[@shivayshakti6575]

wonderful!

[@Pcoxproductions]

7:02 handwriting has more logical and forces you to chew through the content

[@snowmanarc]

Thanks 🙏

[@TheArizonaRanger.]

I wanted to learn his study habits so I can digest his books. The problem is, his books already breaks it down like this. He establishes the Keys to Power/Mastery etc. And then he also put out the daily laws which are essentially note card sized chunks from his books. 😂
