I like this. I have used some versions of this, and suspect the full outline is only necessary when you’re encountering a subject for which you lack prior knowledge and/or have little interest going into the text. The text which is _easiest to read_ is the subject for which you have the greatest interest. Given this insight I imagine this as a useful tool for the reader to find their interest, or to humanize the practice and find sympathy with its practitioners. “While reading […] Highlight, mark or underline key information mentioned in the survey.” I do not agree with defacing a text. In my experience a text unfolds to you with multiple readings. To go the nuclear option of permanent highlighter marks is to affix on the text your naive first readings. Marginalia is much better in because they don’t interrupt the text, but live alongside. I believe this so much I wrote this one page PDF and share it with my friends: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/139g4uFXFCL1ZYrcWKTShbPswnV6ti7ost_584pC9QmU https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/139g4uFXFCL1ZYrcWKTShbPsw...
