While I’m not about to purchase The Archive as another app (I’m all in on Evernote<\/a> and Ulysses<\/a>, with a little help from Drafts 5<\/a>), it seems like reading the principles behind zettelkasten<\/em><\/a> seemed rather interesting.<\/p>\n

Some highlights for me, which I totally agree with include the fact that reading is easy, writing notes is also easy, but the processing does take time. In the Collector’s Fallacy Confession<\/a>, you’ll note that “For every hour of reading, it can take up to double the time to take proper notes.”<\/strong> I tend to agree. I don’t process notes<\/a> like the author, but I myself do write down stuff with a pen and on paper. Sometimes I scribble in the physical book itself. I find that when I read on Kindle, I highlight, but don’t make notes (at which point, I’ll have to export the highlights and make notes around it).<\/p>\n

Then I move on to reading The Collector’s Fallacy<\/a>. Collecting itself isn’t progress, “Collections make us drown in liabilities.”<\/em>. “kept isn\u2019t read”<\/em>. <\/p>\n

I myself am a big consumer of RSS. There are thoughts on note taking from RSS<\/a>. For me, I tend to tweet links that I think others might find interesting. But if I want to archive it, I quite happily send it along to Evernote. <\/p>\n

When it comes to reading, you need to read analytically, practice so you know the topic, and then gain insight. I’m all in on Learn Faster by Writing Zettel Notes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The writer refers to the short knowledge cycle<\/a>, which more or less can be summed up as research (find the materials), read, take excellent notes, then compose notes. So you read, process, reflect, then adapt\/change the routine as you see fit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
