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.

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.

Often paired with some sort of Spaced Review.

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).
