'Summaries' that save time for busy modern people, such as YouTube binge-watch videos that explain books, movies, and dramas in 10 minutes or short newsletters that only contain the key points, are gaining attention.
In an age where we are already overloaded with tasks and information, it has emerged as an optimized method for reducing time waste and increasing efficiency, and has even established itself as a form of content.

Takashi Saito, a professor at Meiji University in Japan and a bestselling author with over 10 million copies sold, also suggests that "summarizing" is an essential weapon for survival in the future.
Here, the ability to summarize is not simply a skill to grasp the main points of a speech or writing and summarize them as defined in the dictionary.

Into the book
When creating a title, you need to summarize the content briefly, so the key is to extract as much as possible and what remains.
It is similar to the portraits of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti.
Giacometti's works are characterized by being very thin and long.
The wire-thin figure represents the precariousness and uncertainty of human existence.
It is a work that summarizes what it means to be human by cutting it down to the extreme.
If you find summarizing difficult, think about whether you've ever tried to cram everything into your writing.
If you are greedy, what you really want to say or the main point becomes vague.
---p.138~139
In fact, the longer the story goes on, the more important information is hidden.
Talking a lot isn't necessarily a good thing.
Whether it is writing or speaking, the more you refine it, the clearer its essence becomes.
---p.120
The product description should not only accurately describe the characteristics of the product you are selling, but also make consumers want to buy it.
In such product introductions, the writer's summarizing skills are clearly revealed.
At this time, a simple introduction is not the only answer.
The people reading the product introduction are customers, so it must evoke thoughts like, "I want to eat this," "I want to see this," and "This is attractive."
---p.166~167
A lead sentence or catchphrase is similar to a title.
However, there is no rule that says the title must reflect the content.
Blake Edwards' film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is not a film about breakfast at Tiffany's.
Tiffany's is a jewelry store, so you can't even eat there in the first place.
Marquez's novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is not about a person who lived for 100 years, and Yoru Sumino's novel "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" is not about actually eating a human pancreas.
In this way, the title often symbolizes or hints at the content of the work.
A lead sentence or catchphrase should be a sentence that 'pulls' the reader in while reflecting a brief summary of the content.
Let's think of a phrase that has enough rhythm that anyone can hum along to it.
Practicing creating blurbs for novels or writing lead sentences at the beginning of a piece of writing will take your summarizing skills to the next level.

Publisher's Review
“Time isn’t something to be managed, it’s something to be used.”
The Secret of People Who Create Time Where There Was None
A student who scored a perfect score on the 2021 CSAT cited watching online lectures at double speed as one of the secrets to their success.
The faster video speed allowed me to focus more and cut my study time in half.
This actually has some basis in fact.
A research team at UCLA divided hundreds of undergraduate students into groups and had them watch lectures at normal speed, 1.5x speed, and 2x speed before taking a test. The results showed that the scores of each group were almost identical.
In other words, double-speed viewing is much more efficient in that it can achieve the same effect in half the learning time.
Peter Drucker said, “The royal road to success is not wasting time on useless things.”
People who achieve their goals successfully know how to win the battle against time.
They were the first to realize that the true skill lies not in managing time well, but in knowing how to use it well and put it to use when necessary.
Rather than making plans to accomplish a set task within a set timeframe, the beginning of the power of summary is to boldly eliminate time spent on useless things so that you can focus on the tasks that must be done.
Why You Fail Every Year in Your Salary Negotiations
This skill is essential for office workers
Most people who work at a company go through a salary negotiation process, which is written as negotiation but read as notification.
Most people are unable to say what they want to say, receive undesirable results, and turn away bitterly.
The key to determining your salary is to appeal to others at the negotiating table by specifically and clearly demonstrating your work performance.
Only those who understand and practice this well can begin real negotiations.
To do that, it's important to summarize what I've done over the past year so that it's easy to see at a glance.
Achievements should be quantified in numbers compared to last year's performance, and the work you led should be described in specific words and expressions to impress upon the employee that he or she is an essential member of the company.
And the content should not be unnecessarily long.
The longer anything is, the more important content is obscured, and if you get greedy, the core point you are trying to convey becomes ambiguous.
From now on, let's remember that both the data and the evidence that moves people's hearts come from the ability to summarize, and let's develop the habit of organizing and summarizing our daily work processes and achievements.
“Make everything work out for you.”
Boldly prune away anything that is not needed
Ultimately, the ability to summarize is not simply to reduce it, but to extract only the key points that fit the purpose and make it 'advantageous' to myself.
If you're a negotiator, you need to make a proposal that will get the other person to nod right away. If you're a test taker, you need to practice the study method that will help you pass the exam as quickly as possible. If you're a copywriter, you need to write sentences that will capture the hearts of consumers.
The provocative title of the bestseller “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas” is a prime example.
It evoked an explosive response from the public because it was written as an interesting text that symbolized the content rather than simply reflecting the plot.
The same goes for YouTubers who have gained popularity by producing summaries of various movies and dramas.
Rather than going into detailed plot details, it was able to attract attention because it touched on points that many people were curious about.
No matter what, doing it for a long time, a lot, or hard doesn't necessarily mean it's good, and sometimes the core is more important than the whole.
The key is to remove as much as possible and what remains.
Whether it's writing, speaking, or documents, the more you refine them, the clearer their essence becomes.
Just as a landscaper prunes everything, let's boldly omit and summarize what is not necessary.
The moment you decide to stop caring about wasteful things, you're already halfway there.
