How I'm using @tana_inc for notes, zettles, building my second brain

Did I mash up enough #PKM references there?

A bit like what my system looks like - the flexibility with Tana lets me build something more organically with less fear of getting locked in

Let's dive in🤿

@tana_inc First, I've gone all in with @Readwiseio and their new reader for most of my content consumption online

Readwise is a holding ground for most of my highlights and I usually cut/paste notes into Tana as needed.
At the pace I digest notes, it works for me

@tana_inc @Readwiseio Highlights make their way into Tana, and tagged. The tag has the source referenced for easy recall, wherever the highlight is copied in my graph.

@tana_inc @Readwiseio From highlights, I'll either review them again and bold them or pick out the key ideas or nuggets in highlights.

Like a simplified progressive summarization.

Or I'll jump right to developing literature notes

Literature notes supertag references to the source & highlights

@tana_inc @Readwiseio Finally I'll work on a few #zettles which will be a succinct combination of a few literature notes or even just highlights

I've got a stoplight theme: 🟢 for completed zettles or 🟠 for ones I'd like to expand or build a bit more

Related zettles are added to the supertag

@tana_inc @Readwiseio Initially I was aiming to add 1-2 zettles to my graph a day, but that was unsustainable

It's dependent on the pace of reading and purposefully going through highlights and taking detailed notes

But the notes I've made have already become part of some of my content I've created!

@tana_inc @Readwiseio If you've read this far thanks!

I hope it's helped you in some way.

I'm just getting started in this creation journey, but if you like this thread, give a follow, like, or a retweet.
