I recently got into the habit of keeping plain text notes after finishing books. It helps me remember key points and ideas that really stood out. Plus, its nice to have everything neatly organized for future reference.
Ive found consistency helps in making note-taking a habit. Setting aside 10 minutes after each reading session to write down thoughts has been a game changer. It makes me more mindful and engaged with the material.
The beauty of keeping plain text notes is the simplicity. No formatting distractions means I can focus solely on my thoughts. I appreciate when tools dont complicate the note-taking process.
