Highlighting 2.0: The Progressive Summarization Technique
This idea came from “Second Brain 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
