Hello

It looks like your purpose is very good. The reason i say that is because i noticed your purpose has the how and why of a good purpose. You want such and such information so you can do such and such with the information.

I would recommend doing another 10 superreading & dipping passes of 20 minutes each but you may really want to consider doing skittering instead of superreading because skittering is ideal for material that is academic & instruction in nature.So you want to spend 20 minutes on the skittering then 5 minutes on the mindmap. You are better off doing 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes because i think it helps keep you better focused & not falling back into the traditional passive regular reading mode.

So do 10 more skittering of 20 minutes each. After you have stopped skittering for 20 minutes immediately spend 5 minutes on a mindmap. Then definitely take a 5 minute break. Get completely away from the book, take a walk definitely get away from the book for 5 minutes.

One thing you did not mention was questions for your trigger words. So come up with 3 questions you would like answered from the author of the book. Be real clear on what questions you want the author to answer.

When i think about it i told you to do 10 more skittering sessions of 20 minutes each. When i think about that you do as many activation passes as necessary until the book gels or comes together for you. If that requires 20 or 30 or 50 you do whatever is necessary until the book gels or comes together.

Remember you are dealing with a complex technical book laden with dense material so you may need to allow more time for more activation passes than you would with a regular book. A technical book may require anywhere from 25 hours to 90 hours of activation.

I think you are on the right track
