I probably highlight about two passages per article. I probably do two hours of web reading per day. Here's the thing: Readwise can grab Instapaper highlights too! This is huge for me. (I like to read Instapaper on my tablet.) Instapaper applies pleasant uniform formatting to all articles and can be viewed on all of your devices. You're reading something at The New York Times (or Get Rich Slowly) but decide you don't have time to finish now, so you save it to Instapaper. Instapaper is a “read later” service, sort of like your browser's built-in Reading List feature. What makes it especially powerful for me is its integration with Instapaper. It's like a missing link to my workflow, and I've enjoyed using it for the past six days. Plus, the app emails you every morning with five random highlights from your collection.įor me, this is an amazing tool. (I use both Feedly and Pocket to curate material for Get Rich Slowly and Apex Money.) You can even scan highlights from physical books into Readwise.Then, you can browse all of your highlights. Readwise can import your Kindle highlights, for instance, or your highlights from Feedly or Pocket. Readwise is an app that collates all your highlights from across various platforms. For you folks out there who like to read, let me give you a tip that I found eye-opening. That said, I did learn lots from the conversations I had with friends. Next time, I want us to compare notes on our computer-based writing workflows.īecause I didn't attend any sessions at Fincon, I didn't actually learn much about business. For years, I've been using the Hobonichi Techo planner (because I love the A6 size), but Tanja convinced me to test out the Jibun Techo from Kokuyo next year. And we're both competitive pedants (as that sentence illustrates). Some examples: she's nerdy af, plagued by ADHD, and loves great writing. I've never told her this, but I always feel like she's a female J.D. Yesterday, I had a delightful conversation with Tanja Hester.I suspect I can lure him to Oregon with promises of bikes and beer. Carl says he's serious about it, so it's just a matter of getting MMM on board. Money Mustache) were to fly out to Oregon for a week to help me remodel my bathroom? I like this idea. He suggested something crazy but cool: What if he and Pete (a.k.a. I talked with Carl Jensen about podcasting, friends, and home remodeling.

I have high hopes that she and I can reach some sort of arrangement to feature her writing here regularly again - but we forgot to discuss this because we were talking about gardening and education and moose. Donna is just as funny and resourceful in person as she is in her GRS articles (and those at her own site). Donna Freedman told me all about her frugal adventures in Anchorage, Alaska.As a guy who has struggled plenty with his mental health, I like Peer's message: “I am enough.” (This is now the lockscreen on my phone!) Rocky Lalvani from Richer Soul told me about Marisa Peer and the biggest disease affecting humanity.He does this by putting his audience first and only promoting a handful of products that he actually uses and endorses. He now makes more than he used to earn with his blog (and he made plenty with his blog). I enjoyed chatting with Rob Berger about how he's managed to grow his excellent YouTube channel from 0 to 63,000 subscribers in two years.Instead, I spent the entire week connecting with friends: I'm exhausted.Īs has become customary, I didn't actually attend any workshops or keynotes or breakout sessions here at Fincon. Overall, if you’re using Craft to track your books and you use Readwise this is a good extension to get your highlights into Craft fairly easy.It's Sunday morning as I write this, and my weeklong adventure at Fincon 2022 in Orlando has come to an end. I have no idea if this is possible with the API, but it would be nice to see. h2 then in Obsidian I’ll see a # beside the chapter title. The Readwise extension for Obsidian will append any new highlights to the existing document it has created for a book or article.Īnother thing this extension doesn’t do, which we have in the official Obsidian plugin is to use the tags set in Readwise to build document structure. If you highlight more from the same book you’ll need to manually import the highlights again. The biggest barrier I see in the plugin is that it doesn’t continually sync your changes. The two circular arrows will refresh your highlights and the person in a circle will let you change your API key if you need to. The first on the left (the 8-ball) will import a random highlight from your list. You can even import multiple books or articles to the same document if that’s what you need to do.Īcross the bottom, you have three buttons.
