Reading Notes Do Not Need to Be Complete. Leave Searchable Anchors First.

Reading notes often become a burden because we want every one of them to be a complete summary.

For long-term accumulation, a more realistic approach is to keep anchors first:

• which chapter is worth returning to
• which concept connects with the project at hand
• which sentence changed your judgment

Those searchable anchors are often much easier to sustain than trying to finish a polished long-form summary in one sitting.
