Goals

Read comprehensively the first time and ensure that key information is ingested.

My Method

  1. As you read, take notes in an outline. Allow the outline to take its own form. Use supporting information.
    • Short Summaries
    • Key Quotes
    • Page Numbers
    • References
  2. Transcribe the outline into a markdown file. Enhance the supporting information and create a references section.
