The Disconnect Between Using Readwise As A Source Of Truth And Taking Notes On The Archive
I’ve mentioned several times previously that I’d love to have a single source of truth for my highlights and online readings. (“source of truth”). So far, this has been Readwise 202212271446. Recently, I’ve come to the realization that highlights and notes are by far more useful if they’re integrated within my regular note-taking system, so I can easily link other notes to them (Zettelkasten-style 202007121547) and add my own commentary on them. However, I have a somewhat tangential goal, which admittedly I haven’t focused on too much so far — build a spaced repetition 202212271223 for my highlights so I retain the information that I’ve found online. These two goals are very difficult to manage in tandem, because any notes that I take on Readwise are not currently synced to my Zettelkasten (because I’ve chosen to use The Archive over Obsidian 202204102121), and any notes that I take on my Zettelkasten won’t be synced to Readwise. (This would be true regardless of whether I decide to use The Archive 202207051453 or Obsidian 202006031443 as my note-taking system. )
