Long Term is all the nonurgent tasks that I can't forget to do, but that doesn't have a clear end date. Then there is the "πŸ’­ Thoughts" section, where things can get more interesting. It's where I put anything I think about, future content ideas, app ideas, business ideas, a list of books to read, and movies to watch. Other than this daily note, I also have tons of physical paper notes around the house, I always carry a block of paper whenever I take a long walk on the weekends and take note of any cool thoughts I might have. Kinda took that from [Kendrick Lamar's](https://lucas-schiavini.com/kendrick-lamar-creative-writing-class/) note-taking style. If you look in the bottom part of the image, you'll see Weeks and Months enumerated as well. I do take time every Sunday to look over any notes I had during the week, and compile only what I find useful in a Weekly note. I do the same every month for Monthly Notes. # Consumption I read LOTS of articles over the course of a week. Some I highlight important things, and some I need to mark to "read later" and have a way to process the information at a later date. I do the same thing with youtube, I heavily use the "Watch Later" option if I come across a cool video that I definitely want to watch, but might not have the time or the mental space to consume deeper content at that moment. ## Reader Helper So for reading I personally use [Readwise + Reader](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com), so that I can review notes every day using [Readwise](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com), and read books/articles/emails/tweets on [Reader](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) whenever I feel I'm ready. Reader works on another level as well, it is now my main way of consuming any text online. Because I can just use the [browser extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readwise-highlighter/jjhefcfhmnkfeepcpnilbbkaadhngkbi?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) that allows me to highlight anything, send things to Reader, and have it all on a single database, kind of like Pocket, Notion, etc. You don't have to use the same tools as I use, as long as you can have all your texts going into one place where you can look into them later, I think you'll see huge benefits. It's also of immense help to get those highlights from every content I read to resurface in my daily review list with [Readwise](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com). ## Research Then we have research when I do look towards something specific, instead of letting information dictate what I do. When I'm in research mode, I use the chrome extension for [Reader](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com), so that I can highlight articles from any website and email newsletters and have them go to my [Readwise](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) database. It also allows you to read books, articles, and random pdfs. If a particular piece of research is completely mindblowing to me, I not only highlight it with [Reader](https://readwise.io/i/lucas698?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) but also put it inside my Obsidian vault to be reevaluated later. Book reading deserves special treatment since I create Obsidian notes for books, their chapters, and any key ideas in them. Later on, I can read my thoughts on each chapter of the book just by going to their notes. Here's how [Shape Up](https://basecamp.com/shapeup/0.3-chapter-01?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) looks like inside my vault: ![](https://lucas-schiavini.com/content/images/2023/03/image.png) And for each chapter I have separate notes with more details/summaries of key ideas. Here's the Chapter 5 note: ![](https://lucas-schiavini.com/content/images/2023/03/image-1.png) Pretty neat hm? I first highlight the on the web browser the book, then I summarize using my own words in these chapter notes. This is something I learned using [The Zettelkasten Method](https://lucas-schiavini.com/little-bits-zettelkasten-method/), always put things inside your second brain/obsidian vault that you have rephrased in your own words, instead of just copying and pasting from external sources. ## Bird Eye View ![](https://lucas-schiavini.com/content/images/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-26-at-2.48.50-PM.png) So as we can see, pen and paper are still very much one of my most important tools to capture ideas on the fly. Whenever I have the time I move those notes to obsidian, and the cycle repeats. --- ### πŸ˜— Enjoy my writing?
