Catherine Bell shares a simple system for acting on financial books and courses: keep a dedicated To Do page in your notes, jot down actionable tasks as you read, then schedule them in your calendar. The method turns insights into actual steps you'll complete.
How do I apply the books I read about financial literacy? So when I take courses or listen to webinars or books or whatever, I'm really, really intentional about it. And what I do is I usually take lots of notes, but the very first page of any of my notes is always a to do. And it literally says at the top to do. And then I skip past a couple pages, and then I start writing all my notes. And what happens is, as I'm going through the book or the course or whatever it is, I as stuff comes to me in the moment of like, oh, my gosh, I need to do this. That, like, actual action steps, I flip back to that to do page, and I actually write out whatever the to dos are. And by the time I'm done, the book, the course, whatever, I usually have a page or two of actual action steps that I can take today to move forward the financial literacy that I learned. And then after that, I go back and I schedule it in my calendar and make sure that I get it done. And that's how I get the most out of every single book I read.
