📚Obsidian Book Notes System and Template

This video is a peek into my system for always remembering what I read! I talk about both the book note templates I use, as well as the script that processes my Kindle clippings and the highlight "processing" that happens after I finish a book. I do this a bit more manually than others. This is on purpose. For book notes, I like that finishing a book and importing the notes is an "event" with specific "rituals" because it helps me be more mindful when thinking about the book. Feel free to add any extra automation to your process if that's not the same for you!
