@ScottScheper I have a tower of books as well. What’s helped me is when Adler said that some books are meant to be read slow, others quickly, and some not at all. Look into his “systematic skimming” can be difficult at first but it provides more time for the books that deserve your attention.
@ScottScheper What are you thoughts on a “commonplace book”? I’ve tried and always found it difficult to commit to…I suppose, in retrospect, it does carry some similarities with an antinet…
@ScottScheper @Kurt13168580 I’ve tried keeping a “commonplace book”, digital zettel, and bullet journal but none felt right- I like to default to old school analog - and the antinet feels perfect.
@ScottScheper @Kurt13168580 I’m a grade school teacher with an affinity for reading about psych and personal dev. I’ve written a book on training and nutrition and always looking for ways to manage info- especially way that don’t rely on tech. I still like reading by candle at 4am.
@ScottScheper Are these filed in Applied Sciences (5000), then Journalism, media studies and communication (5200), public relations (5209), Antinet correspondence (/54)?
@ScottScheper Thank you for answering - I appreciate it! -Clear as arbitrary mud ;) Hopefully when you get my Canadian letter and I get my hands on your eventual book the mud will settle a little :)
@ScottScheper I was curious, do you file notes like this in a section of notes from the same book (like a collection per book) or do you store them in the section of knowledge they pertain too? I also saw the index you made and filed for a book - very cool!
You say, 'I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall.
