1. l I use OneNote using a numbered hierarchical structure. You can use anything really, like the Dewey Decimal system, but in my case it just evolved into a 1000’s section for the Sciences and Applied Sciences, a 2000’s section for Business, Finance, etc, a 3000’s section for Liberal Arts and finally a 4000 section for the Arts. 2. After I’ve completed a book, I’ll go back and type out the notes into OneNote, I usually have my raw notes (what I’ve underlined), my synthesized notes (the best of the raw notes), and then finally some kind of concept map for the overarching ideas. 3. To completed notes I add a “#review” tag into the note and then every two weeks I’ll do spaced repetitions on the notes. At some point I’ll add a tag like “#long-term-review” and then only look at it every 6 months. 4. Use physical books and use a pen, not highlighter. Physical books allow you to read faster and a hundred other things that would be too long to get into here, and pens are better because you can underline, circle words, and write in the margin all with one device. 5. Learn how to distinguish good books from bad books. Bad books tend to have very “markety” like “How Anybody Can Be Creative!” while good books have more boring titles like “Reflections on Lateral Thinking” by XYZ University Press. Also University Press’s are almost always a good buy. You will never find those books unless you look, consider the average marketing budget for a University Press book is about $5,000, but they’re one of the best untapped resources for knowledge in the world currently. Amazing that they aren’t more popular.
