My New Reading System

In this video, I walk through a recent shift in my reading system—using colored book flags to mark and organize insights while I read. This simple tool has totally changed how I interact with books, especially when I’m working them into my analog Zettelkasten system.

I’ll share:
📚 How I assign colors to different types of notes (ideas, quotes, questions, etc.)
🗂️ How these flags help me quickly review and transfer notes into my card system
🧠 Why this method helps me process books more deeply and store ideas for long-term use

Whether you’re deep into note-taking systems or just want to make your reading more intentional and connected, this approach is both low-friction and high-impact.

If you're looking for a way to bridge the gap between reading and retaining, or you’re already building a Zettelkasten and want to improve your capture process—this video gives you a practical method you can start using right away.
