I am slowly getting back into reading, and as a minimalist, I dislike the idea of having (or carrying) books, aside from very special ones, of course.
Is there a nice system to organize (maybe even sync) ebook information; and I mean not only bookmarking where you left, but actually notes, highlights, etc? I’d like it to be pretty “universal”, so I don’t depend on propietary stuff, and I can retrieve those notes 20 years from now (why else would I want to write some notes, right?).
Also, a bit off-topic for this sub, but… how do you read? E-readers? Tablets? Software choices?
after
readinghearing of studies that came to the conclusion that highlighting and adding notes is for nothing, I try to form the habit to summerize thoughts in my own words; and for fiction books write a short review after reading it.Can you link me the study? I annotate like crazy, even on non academic stuff. I thought it would help remember some of this stuff.
Or atleast a keyword to search for would be good.
it does help but more active methods are more effective. cannot find the one i heard about, but it seems to be quite well researched, this is one such study https://www.rica.nsw.edu.au/resources/effective-studying/
Thanks. It seems like I’ll need to go back to handwriting notes.
Wait. You mean my whole phd workflow is for nothing?
