In this video, I share with you how I use Readwise to process my Highlights. If you're interested in knowledge management, Building a Second Brain (BASB), or Progressive Summarization, this video is for you! I will share about note-taking, information overload, knowledge retention and how Readwise has been very important in these aspects for me. I will walk you through my personal IDEA workflow with Readwise: Ingest, Distill, Edit, and Assess, so that you can learn how to make the most of your highlights (or notes from consumed content) using this powerful tool.
