Ep. 250: In Defense of Thinking
Deep Questions with Cal Newport
How to Reduce Friction in the Reading Process
Jesse: Next question is from Steven, a 33 year old from Canada. Maria Popova uses a note taking system that involves highlighting passages and writing the page number on the blank pages in the front and back of the book. Your corner marking system is different. Why don't you follow Maria's approach? Jesse: The friction is higher. So it takes more time because you have to go back and think about what you read and then summarize and then index all of the different key ideas or quotes. And then the idea is you can just turn to the front of your book and look at these annotations and one or two pages remind yourself of all of the big ideas.
