I meant to write a comment about this earlier, but I found this post very useful. I have reached a point where I am reading so much that it feels like I pretty much forget everything if I don’t take notes! Some of the strategies you have set out here are definitely useful, especially for students who are navigating new floods of information and ideas.

I basically only skim and bookmark and then read and note, nothing in between. Once in every while I just take my notebook and sketch out my own thoughts and the structure of my argument in writing.

So, it’s very compartimentalized and requires a constant focus on writing my own material to keep it together.

I like your key point #1. For those of us with young children, it might be: “there is never a time when you’re so distracted by the screaming baby strapped to your chest that you can’t say to yourself: “Why don’t I just read the table of contents for every issue of Dialectical Anthropology ever published?”” OK, so actually I’m not sure that works so well…

What about brainstorming? Or the long, slow accumulation of thoughts, images, bits of data that cohere one day into a new idea?
