Step 1: make highlights and inline comments in my ebook app as I go. Step 2: batch export all the highlights and comments out and paste them into my notes app as a new note Step 3: go through that note and highlight the ones that are the most valuable (i.e., progressive summarization) Step 4: summarize and re-state those points as notes in my zettelkasten I find this process really helps me keep track of the things that I find valuable without clogging up my notes with all the fluff. And the last step helps me build connections to other unrelated thoughts.
