This is the key to maximizing your return on time invested in all this reading.įortunately, we can now leverage technology to help us remember significantly more of what we read. You need a system - a system to help you organize and remember all the important ideas and concepts you've read about. With the massive amounts of content we're consuming these days, how do you ensure reading is not a fleeting moment of insight, soon to be forgetten? "I look at books as investments in a future of learning rather than a fleeting moment of insight, soon to be forgotten." Or as Kevan Lee put it in this excellent Buffer post: I'm investing capital today (time) in the skills and knowledge (dividends) I want tomorrow. Why? Because I view reading as an investment in myself. I assume these are articles saved directly in Evernote, not PDFs? One option would be to create PDFs of those articles, then you can open the PDF document in a more "reader" type of app and highlight etc.If you're anything like me, you take reading seriously. The problems with:Įvernote for Windows: No easy way to scroll via touch, have to use mouse hitting arrows to scroll up and down often throw it offĮvernote for Web: Great touch features for scrolling up and down, but no highlightĮvernote for Android: Also great for scrolling, but to highlight, one must Edit, lose half the screen for the keyboard, and then highlightĪnyone find any better ways to read and highlight One of my difficulties is a good way to both read in Evernote and highlight. For some longer pieces, I start in Evernote. I may read it with Pocket or Acrobat, but in the end, it goes to Evernote. Long time Evernote user, though of recent, frustrated with increasing prices, buggy releases, and loss of features without warning or comment.Įvernote is where I store most of my reading.
