Reviewing before consuming

The only value in capturing anything (notes, photos, book highlights) is in reviewing them.

If I don’t review my notes, I could as well not have taken them (there’s an imprint in memory though).

But I don’t set out time to review, though. Reviewing never seems like an urgent/important thing to do. Capture something else seems always a better option. Just like re-reading a book never feels the best thing to do, when there are so many good books I haven’t read.

This is wrong. Reviewing | rereading | rewatching something that has already resonated should take priority.

How to create an environment that treats reviewing old things as a priority in a world that offers you so many good new things?
