Readwise

- Readwise highlights (using Obsidian integration, i.e. the newer version of private/Readwise as incremental reading).
Read twice, use second reading to only read highlights and create notes: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/barbell-method-reading/. This is essentially what is being done with Readwise, except the second reading is done in a Spaced Review.
Maybe the new Readwise Reader product will help this, and in the meantime I will try to use the Readwise to Obsidian integration to see if that can help resolve this.
This was how I really discovered Anki and spaced repetition as a concept for the first time. I immediately was intrigued and began experimenting with the tool. Now, I’ve been using the tool almost daily since February, and my interest in that tool has led me to all sorts of other interesting and useful tools that I am using on daily basis today (like Obsidian and Readwise).
Readwise becomes a holding ground for anything from my readings that I might want to turn into Evergreen notes. This means that, as much as possible, if I find something interesting while reading, I should try to send it to Readwise. If I’m not able, my next bets are to put it into the Raindrop as inbox for webpages process, or the Apple Notes as inbox for transient notes process.
I can liberally highlight paragraphs and sections and look at them later on Readwise. This means I can do multiple passes on Readwise, once to read the passage I highlighted, and edit the note down (i.e. “extract”) a part of the highlight for later review. Then when I feel a highlight sufficiently encompasses an idea I want to note, I can turn that highlight into an Evergreen notes (and also one day add to a Spaced Review).
Readwise acts as a Spaced Review for your highlights, so by highlighting anything I might find interesting, I allow Readwise to do the work of choosing what I should be converting from a highlight to Evergreen notes.
