1,959 - The Power of Bib Cards: A Simple System for Retaining Knowledge

from Multifamily Collective Podcast · host Mike Brewer

Reading books is one thing—retaining and applying that knowledge is another. Here’s my simple yet powerful system for making ideas stick.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I share my Bib Card Method—a tool I use to capture, process, and retain insights from the books I read. This isn’t just about note-taking; it’s about turning raw information into actionable knowledge.How It Works:1. Create a Bib Card – Write the book’s title, author, goal, and a quick summary.2. Capture Notes – Record key ideas, but don’t just copy—add your own thoughts.3. Refine & Connect – Later, revisit your notes and build deeper insights.4. Organize for Recall – Store your Bib Cards for future reference and idea-building.This method helps me think critically, connect ideas, and create new insights rather than just memorizing facts. And it works! If you’re looking for a better way to retain and apply what you read, give it a try.📩 How do you retain knowledge from books?
