Great notes! I recently read Philosophy of Software Design, but decided not to take notes on it because I wanted to finish it in a reasonable time period.
I'm currently a few chapters into a few other books which I chose to take notes on, but it's very slow going and my desire to read those books has decreased because it feels like a slog.
How do you combat the desire to note every little detail (how do you decide what's important)?
Also, do you take notes directly in a text editor, or do you take handwritten notes and then transcribe them later?
