I like that. Only that my room is filled with sheets of paper that once have meant something. I guess a notetaking software would be easier on my brain. But I like the idea.

Nope. In the other note you wrote:

The first step is learning HOW to highlight and take good notes. If you do this right to begin with, it's not a problem later on.

I. V. Lenin was famos for this kind of answers. Sorry. I know you meant something. But it ends up as nothing to one who asks "what can I do"

I like your method. I have tried something like that a couple of years ago. I have renounced as it was on paper and quoting the whole highlight proved to be a pain in the behind. I'm going to try it again. Thanks.

How to organize depends on exactly what you're wanting to do with your notes. But you could easily indicate a topic on each Post-it.

Never thought of putting a topic too. Thanks.
