tiago forte overemphasizes highlighting. His Progressive summarization method encourages making highlights indiscriminately. And him encouraging the use of highlighting tools like Liner and Readwise amplifies this. He separates the process of making highlights and taking notes per getting things done. Christian Tietze and andy matuschak does the same, but they are cautious that they spend more time in processing than collecting. Tiago doesn’t seem to share this precaution. For him, it is okay to read on the phone wherever you go as long you can make highlights, which you’ll return to anyway.
