Create Your Knowledge Management System

  • Create an account with Readwise and Readwise Reader. If you use Kindle for reading, sync your Kindle account to pull in highlights from previous books.
  • If you have a bunch of open tabs on your browser or phone that you intended to read at some point, save them to Reader and close the tabs.
  • Identify a block of time to read and schedule an appointment with yourself. Go through your reader and highlight any relevant passages. Tag them for easier retrieval later.
  • If you’re in the middle of a book or recently completed one, go through your notes or highlights. Create a page in Notion or your note taking tool of choice, summarizing your notes and takeaways from the book. Schedule a reminder to yourself to review the notes in 2 weeks.
  • Utilize Readwise’s passage reminders to review 5 of your highlights.
