🌱 Studying and highlighting is not to cover material, it is to add notes to our zettelkasten. For this we should always keep in mind, how does what I read fit with my other notes?

Zettelkasten and Evergreen notes

When we read we should bring to mind note related to what we are currently reading. Don’t read just anything, it will make it hard to add to you slip-box.

After we found where approximately the new note should fit we can search for things to add to it in the publication we consume. Questions help us to actively search instead of passively receive (information)

This brings to mind we should look into our ZK before we read a book. What do I want to get out of this reading?

Counterpoint

Wouldn’t this be a preconceived notion, reading with a view how the material fits with what ?I already know / believe?
