How I Consume Content To Build A Massively Helpful Vault Of Knowledge
Over the last year, I’ve developed a system for how I consume different types of content.
This system has allowed me to build a vault of knowledge I can repurpose into articles, newsletters, tweets, and digital products.
Here’s my system:
Consuming Articles
1. I clip articles using the Save to Notion extension. This organizes articles into a Library Notion DB with helpful metadata like the name, source URL, status, and content type.
2. I read the article directly in Notion, make highlights, and take rough notes.
3. I further refine my notes into Obsidian literature notes.
4. Finally, I process these literature notes into evergreen notes. These are atomic notes I can draw from when writing.
Consuming Books
1. I read books on my phone using the Google Play Books app. As I make highlights and notes, these are saved to a Google Doc.
2. When I finish reading, I create a new entry in my Library Notion DB. I review the notes and highlights from the Google Doc and make my own notes.
3. As with articles, I further refine these notes into Obsidian literature notes, then process them into evergreen notes.
