Here is what I do when I read a book, listen to a podcast, watch a strategy video or read an article:
1. Read/listen/watch for the first time.
2. Read/listen/watch for the second time and take notes in a notebook.
3. Read your notes.
4. Brief out "top 3 things to do (or not to do)" from your notes
5. Apply those 3 things to your game
6. Re-read your notes from time to time
Might sound like an overkill, but that's how I roll
