Ask HN: How to retain more from thee books and articles you read?

I love reading a lot of books and articles, especially ones that help me grow as a person. I find it really hard to retain the key points and lessons I learn/come across from books and articles. I have tried different methods from writing things down to using note taking apps but these weren't sustainable (it slowed me down from progressing or was too much to keep noting down things) I was wondering how you guys deal with this issue and would love to hear solutions that have worked out for you.
