How can I apply this knowledge that I learned? How do these ideas relate to what I already know? # 💡Ideas Note: These should become Project Idea fleeting notes with a link back to this source. # Fleeting Notes Note: Conceptual notes that aren't as tied to the source material. These are fodder for processing into evergreen notes. # Literature Notes Note: Commentary on the book or things you don't want to forget. Maybe for use in a public mind garden.

Literature Notes/` ```dataview TABLE rows.file.link AS "Literature Note", rows.file.cday AS "Date" FROM #note/literature AND \[\[title]] GROUP BY file.link sort date ASCENDING ``` # Highlights/Summaries Note: Go through these to restructure, and bold and highlight important pieces.

What problems did the author solve, and what did they fail to? # Blank Page Mindmap Note: After determining what the book is about, write everything you know about the subject on a blank page. After each reading session, write anything you've learned in a different color ink. # What is the Book About? **Note**: See [[How To Read a Book]] What kind of book is it? What is the book about in 1-2 sentences at most? Outline the book. What problems does the author try to solve?
