Keeping the Journal:
A Written Record of New Ideas
This chapter is focused in having a good documentation of what we are reading. I relate this with what I was doing in this space of documentation. At the beginning I see it as a lost of time, but now that I´m more engage with what I´m reading and learning I want to have this written if someday I would want to analyze what I have read through my own notes. It is impossible to read and try to remember all.
" In your journal, you will record your own summaries of your reading; this is your tool for understanding the ideas you read. This---the mastery of facts---is the first stage of classical education."
