2022-07-07: I ran across a [Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/vsejrx/-/if1kzxy) today where someone asked about a note note taking system and was recommended to read the book "Building a Second Brain". The book purports to explain a way to think about notes and how to organize things rather than recommend apps (or so I hope). This morning, while looking for something to listen to while I walk I found the Art of Manliness podcast had just dropped an episode where he [interviewed Tiago Forte about the book](https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/podcast-816-building-a-second-brain/)! So I spent my walk listening to the author talk about the book. I was relieved to hear that he doesn't necessarily recommend any specific software and talks more about the higher-level concepts of personal knowledge management. I was also pleased to discover that I am doing most of the things he talks about already. 2022-07-07: I ran across a [Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/vsejrx/-/if1kzxy) today where someone asked about a note note taking system and was recommended to read the book "Building a Second Brain".

Once upon a time I read somewhere that smart people take notes about the books they read. Being somewhat of an egomaniac I also like to be able to track how many books I've read and how long it took me to finish them. Lastly, it took me three chapters once to realize I was reading a book I'd already read a long time ago. Once upon a time I read somewhere that smart people take notes about the books they read.

I'm trying to create a workflow for reading (is that too much? Am I making reading a job? Nah.) When I decide to read a book, I'm going to create a note (with the below template) and Update [GoodReads](https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/61550335?ref=nav_mybooks).

I work for OverDrive and have long been only a casual fan of Libby. I am hoping to change that since I've spent years looking for a cross-platform reader that allows me to highlight, take notes and sync between the web, phone and tablet and have only found Libby. ReadEra is awesome for books I own and it does sync between the phone and the tablet, but has no web interface. Besides, Libby lets me sample books and helps me discover new books. Lastly, the audiobooks interface on Libby is first-class. I need to listen to more books, too. I work for OverDrive and have long been only a casual fan of Libby.
