After finishing the book, review your exported notes to identify the most impactful ones.
Look for notes written in your own words that still catch your attention. If a note stands out during review, it means the idea resonated with you twice: once when you initially rephrased it, and again now. These double-resonance notes are candidates for permanent notes.
To create a permanent note:
- Rewrite it a third time with more detail
- Add connections to other ideas or notes

“While it’s important to capture your idea before they go, it’s equally important to be selective with what you keep. Dilution of your library is a real possibility.”
