Kata 6 (Progressive Summarization)

Kata 6 - Progressive Summarization

Theory

Progressive Summarization, the term was defined by Tiago Forte, is a technique of summarizing a text in iterative steps and reducing it to its essentials. Ideally, 10% of the text remains after each iteration.

Step 1: the complete text excerpt from a source Step 2: underline or mark in bold the most important statements/sentences of the text Stage 3: From the underlined/bold marked the most important keywords highligted that are important for the statement. Level 4: A summary in your own words Stage 5: Bounding

In this process, the original text remains available at all times. If a higher level is not understood, the level below can be read. The method acts much like a safety net. Also, the method can still be used well when not so much energy is available. The method is a method, it does not have to be used. You can also record what you have read, heard or seen directly as audio, thereby increasing your social presence within a learning group, or reproduce it in your own words in a timely manner.
