Not read it, not highlight it, not copy it out: apply it.
The only way to build personal knowledge, in my experience, is to do things.
And I only want to learn things in the context of doing something.
I read and favourite and bookmark stuff all the time to dig into for inspiration.
But then I choose to build something, and I assemble knowledge on a JIT basis and apply it. LLMs make this easier than ever before.
Everything else is theatre at best, procrastination at worst.
