Are you tired of spending hours on reading a book and then forgetting 95% of it?

Don’t ask me how I know!

Stop jumping straight into the next book you’ll read (and forget) there’s a better way. Instead, take the time to re-engage with your highlights to finally remember everything you just read.

A great app to achieve this is Obsidian.

And I’ll share with you my exact book notes taking process.

Stop wasting your time reading books

Books play an essential part in our life as content creators.
They are one of the best (and cheap!) sources of knowledge and information.

But most people forget 90% of what they read.

Which makes it a waste of time.

What’s the point of reading a book for a couple of hours and only remembering one or two things?

It goes even worse:
How much of this tiny percentage of what we remember do we really put into action?
