The Importance of Asking Why
The host emphasizes the significance of questioning why we highlight content. He reflects on his own experience of highlighting extensively in books and digital assets, realizing that much of it was unnecessary. He proposes two main reasons for highlighting: to capture information for future reference or to prompt action. The host suggests that instead of immediately highlighting, it is better to pause and assess if the highlighted content requires action. If action is warranted, he recommends adding a task related to the content in a task manager. This approach ensures that highlighted content is actively utilized and not forgotten.
