I've been using the PARA system from Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte for all of my new notes and interest hoarding. After I've read a link, I'll quickly file it away into an inbox with some useful snippets on the page. When I'm bored, or have additional free time, I'll summarize the highlighted points and then move it into either a Project, Area, or Resource.
Sometimes I just read stuff and don't bother with the notes. As long as I have an inkling of what the thing was, I'll be able to find it later.
- Terretta 4y agoI agree with your approach, and with PARA. This was the only reply from top down to this deep that suggested only saving a subset of those things that one actually read. Everything before this was saving for later, read later, etc., which is the way to get buried and stay buried. Instead, make a call at the time, only read things you have time for, and only save those that, after reading, you are certain you'd want to use as a reference later. // I save pages worth referencing as Markdown, and let search find them if I need them.
