what do you do to take notes as you read?
i usually always underline, but last night i decided to get hi-lighters and hi-lighted up my bio print-outs and now i'm going back to review all the massive amounts of info i was supposed to absorb and all i can think about is "oooh, colors pretty" and i'm completely missing the words  anyways, i think i'm gonna go back to underlines and margin notes. |

I don't highlight my books, because I sell them back and they don't want to buy books that are written in.
When I take notes I usually circle things, like main phrases. It looks less messy that way. If I were to highlight or underline I'd be tempted to do that to the whole paragraph, but if I circle a main word it's easier for me to reference when I'm doing my work and then I can just find what I'm looking for and read up on it. |
