I don't have any fears about jumping into a difficult article, but my
problem is the sheer number of articles I have to read each week. I'm
sure that many people here have been through this themselves at some
point. How do you handle it?
Yes, I have already found this to be useful. I use the large index
cards that are about a half sheet of paper. If I can manage to
summarize everything about a given topic on this card, then
usually know it pretty well just from making the card.

Haha! I love it. No option but to read what's in front of you.
> And above, reading selectively.
I think you're right here. Hopefully this will become easier
with experience. Thanks for the tips.

Sounds like a nice system. It seems like it could also be useful for
organizing references for a paper or dissertation. Thanks.
