* Both Seth Godin and Nassim Taleb recommend making bullets as you read and then converting these passages into ACTIONS. This is similar to David Allen's recommendation for converting tasks into actionable todos.
* If you believe that action comes from mental models (which I do), then any reading that updates your mental models will, indirectly, affect decisions that you make.
* Check out [*How to Actually Use What You Read*](https://blog.readwise.io/reading-workflow-part-1/)*.* Daniel is one of our friends at [Readwise](http://readwise.io), and they're doing some cool stuff.
