How do you remember what you read?

"How much can you remember from the books you read?"

This is the question that a friend asked me a few months ago. And my answer was "very little".

So I've decided there's no point in reading all those books if I keep forgetting most of what I read.

That's when I discovered this book called How to Take Smart Notes book by Sönke Ahrens.

If you haven't read the book yet, I highly recommend it, but the gist is that you want to capture your notes and ideas into a system that allows you to create 2-way links between them.

Not only that, but your notes have to be discoverable in the long term. Otherwise, you'll lose them, which typically happens when I use other note-taking apps.

And I wanted to change that for myself and other people.

So I've built a product that is scratching my own itch, and it's called ThinkerNotes.

If you like to read a lot, or if you're struggling to come up with content ideas to grow your online following, give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Thank you.
