So it really varies! If im reading at my computer I’ll usually write my thoughts as I go along, other times I’ll batch thoughts at the end of a reading session, and then sometimes I’ll finish the entire book before starting the note. Whatever feels right!
I love your colorful notes! Which reminds me, I need to get back to organizing my own obsidian lol I still have notes from one book I haven’t put on there.
I haven’t quite gotten into the habit of taking notes for every book. There are some I just want to focus on reading for the fun of it. Then there are books that I have to take notes on or I won’t remember any character name, place, or constructed terminology lol 😂
It's good to be flexible! I feel like a book tells me when I need to write notes on it 🤔 Absolutely, not everything needs remembering forever, but then sometimes even just a few lines can be a valuable exercise.
Spreading the Obsidian love! You’ve given me some ideas for my own reading notes (especially utilizing callouts more!). Reading and taking notes is such a powerful combination, and I think Obsidian is the perfect tool for the job. It just works out of the box, but we can also customize it to fit us instead of trying to fit with how it works. I think the part you said about being an attentive reader is important. Whatever form that takes for others, I’m happy it takes the form of Obsidian notes for me.
Callouts are SO cute I love them 😆 Thank you for getting me on this hype train in the first place!! Totally, it's one of those things that even if you spend zero time customising it, it's still a great piece of software. But fiddling is so fun...
Do you write the note while reading the chapter, after you read it fully, or after a reading session?
