If you read on a Kindle, you can take notes while you read (simply highlight passages you want saved) and when you’re done reading, you simply export your Kindle notes. It creates a PDF that you can attach to anything. Very quick and cool. If you want to then either make edits to your notes or write on those notes, simply send the PDF to Notability or Evernote and make any edits you want. Then, just save it again as a PDF. You simply attach the PDF to your book in Notion. This is how I take notes on books I read. I have the notes in Notion within 60 seconds after I’ve finished reading the book. Notion keeps track of what I want to read.

By the way, you should market your voice. You’ve got a great voice that a lot of companies would want for ads or voiceovers, or character acting.

Man, this video solved my problem of trying to organize what I was reading and my notes into my Notion setup. Freaking serendipitous. Really enjoy the video section breakdown where you can see what each part is and yeah great voice! Cheers.
