Smoke ring for my halo
Whenever I read an interesting book, a funny feeling creeps in. This feeling can be best described as “Whaaaa I have to remember this phrase or that detail because……”.
The problem is that a really interesting book has many of these details, hence triggering this funny feeling over and over again.
I know you can put markers on the pages such as folding the edges.. but i don’t want to ruin the book, nor do I want to read the whole page again to look for the interesting part.
So what to do…..
Post-its
Now whenever I start reading a book I make sure the first page is fitted with a dozen mini post-it’s
This enables me to quickly make a note and stick it to the page.
Therefore taking away the anxiety of forgetting pieces of information.
After I’m done reading I collect all the post-its and write down the corresponding page numbers just in case I want to put the phrase or detail into context.
Then I group the post-its and stick it to a black paper… creating a sort of mind-map.
This way I have a quick overview of the most interesting part of the book, how the are connected and a reference to where it originates from.

There are many praises for this book and I could not agree any more.
It gives you insight on behavioural aspects that may occur as normal but are in fact old-fashioned.
Why not keep a long list of bands I would like to see for Lowlands 2011

In “Change by Design” Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, shows us what the concept of design thinking is. In the first section he explains the principles which gives you a good impression of field of design thinking. However the rest of the book is full with examples in which he was able to apply design thinking. He tops it of in the last section with a lecture of global issues that need to be addressed.
I would have liked to get more information on a how-to apply design thinking, best practices, do’s and don’ts.. instead of the huge quantity of examples.
Bottom line: A book worth reading, but also a book that has space for improvement

With the Jamo’s I miss the deep mids in music like Siamese Dreams – Smashing Pumpkins…
I am not sure yet what is better.
The old system both the Sony’s and the Aiwa’s were 3-way speakers. (although half of the tweaters died a long time ago)…

Nice little book with tips and tricks. It would have been nice to have a small summary at the end of the book without having to figure out what the title of a chapter is referring to.
Very helpful but I would not call on of the best management books though…
In Retrospect, yes!
