Dog-eared Pages and Highlighters

I read books and take notes.

Maybe you knew that already.

I started reading and highlighting and noting things for myself.

Eventually, though, I realized that while I was doing all this great work, most people I know or have talked to are not consuming as much content from books.

But, maybe some people will read the notes I take, they’re smaller, more digestible, and from a trusted source — me.

I started talking to a lot of people about the things that I am reading and noticed that many people were receiving new information from me.

Because of that, rather than dumping information onto people in a situation where that isn’t desired, I have found that it is much better for me to post everything online in an understandable way.

The other benefit that has is that it’s accessible at all times. Whether or not someone wants to have a conversation with me about what I have read and written can be done more on their terms than on mine.

Now, even when I look back at my notes and I type up the things that I highlight, I sometimes type up extra things.
