How to take notes while reading

I love to read, both fiction and non-fiction (mostly business) books. When I find something interesting I want to save it and being able to use it in the future, when I need it. For now it is a complete failure.

Tried and failed:

  • writing the margins
  • highlight
  • using kindle notes
  • evernote and tags
  • the most recent is using a separate notebook, write the page and the comment

They all failed, because when you try to find why on earth did I find this sentence useful really depends on the context and on a re-read that context is lost.

So after a recommendation from someone I value enormously, I am now trying Zettelkasten
