Comment on Ask HN: How do you synthesize books that you read?

Comments

I like to highlight in the books. These highlights are words that make me think or resonate with me.

After each chapter, I'll go into a Notion Doc and type out these highlights. Then following the highlights I'll write my thoughts or summarize the highlights in own words.

Sometimes these thoughts turn into full-blown essays. Sometimes these thoughts are nothing.

But I still get the reps in.

After the book is done, I publish some highlights and the thoughts to my personal website.
