Highlighting 2.0: The Progressive Summarization Technique

This idea came from “Second Brain Book”

Book

I recommend reading it for sure.

Progressive summarization has a lot in common with a zettelkasten but much much simpler and could be used together with a zettelkasten.

Layer 1

You select a passage with some basic color or bold text

Layer 2

You continue selecting a key part of already selected notes. it could be a multi-step process with multiple colors.

Layer 3

You write with own words a summary of the selected on the last stage. You could create notes

Layer 4

You combine and merge different notes from the same topic

Layer 5

Now you could repeat recursively process and create tags and relations with newly created notes and original Highlighting
