      I recently stumbled upon this excellent book. If you are looking for a method to remember what you read, this is a good place to investigate. https://takesmartnotes.com/

      Reminds me why I should be actively reading. I started carrying a notebook while I read. Before, when I used to read physical books, I love marginalia. But on Kindle, I highlight and makes lots of notes instead. Still have to figure out how to get those notes and highlights onto my Notion page.

      The section "Keep Mental Models in Mind" is super useful. Something I plan to (and probably forget) reread often.

      It’s so important to have a community of readers I always imagine all the people I will never know who are reading the same book with me but I treasure the people who I do know and who share their thoughts about a book and want to hear my thoughts. An incentive for reflection.

      It’s hard for me to intentionally quit a book, especially if I’m already 50 pages in and even if it’s not that good. But I unintentionally leave many books in my Kindle library that I don’t immediately get into within the first few pages. Out of sight, out of mind. Also, I heard about a rule that you really shouldn’t read nonfiction less than 10 years old, which is probably hard for tech but easier for history, self-improvement, biography, etc. What stands the test of time is worth it.
