someday I’ll write up a system of annotating academic texts as you’re reading it and doing live data visualization, but for concepts in the margins, so you can keep track of what you read, and find diagrams a lot faster than blocks of text #AuDHD 
the first rule of close reading is to not use a highlighter, because highlighting is passive and doesn’t digest info; underlining, circling, drawing boxes etc. gets you to semantically engage the material more
also it is far too easy to highlight a whole-ass paragraph, which is completely useless to you when you’re flipping back through the text to get your main points sorted
if you’re like “wow it’s really a lot more annoying to underline a long passage, I keep accidentally striking things out”
yes that is the whole point
if you are attempting to underline the whole passage, either box it with an annotation, or extract only the one line you need
