currently juggling reading 4 different books at the same time; i would recommend you get a note-taking app if you are in a similar situation

What books are you juggling? And which notes app do you use? What’s your typical note taking process like?

in terms of notes usually i just do unrefined, copypasted highlights into Obsidian to start and then synthesize my notes into prose later; for most books i also tend to export my highlights into their own markdown document so i always have the initial highlights even after the prose

Oh nice! I’m super interested in that Palo Alto book. That’s been on my TBR…seeing it now must be a sign that I should start it.
